Creating dashboards

Introduction

Dashboards are used to visualize data in a meaningful way to end-users. Various dashboard items can be used to provide different views and to organize, group, and filter data from different data sources.

A dashboard item can show data from only one data source. To display data from different data sources, multiple dashboard items should be used. Within a dashboard, the placement of the dashboard items can be controlled.

Dashboard item types

Dashboard items can be of the following types:

• Chart;
• Process Graph;
• HTML Panel;
• Legacy Chart.

Although dashboard items look different with respect to the visualizations they provide, they all obey the same layout rules and can be added to a dashboard together.
