20.0 Designing Dashboards for Data Analysis

You must have the Report Admin or Design Reports permission to use this feature.

Select Reports > Dashboard Designer.

Dashboard Designer provides a wizard that allows you to create new dashboards from your data sources. You can dynamically filter a dataset and visualize the output on tables, charts, and gauges. The Designer saves all attributes and related information in a template file in XML format.

The Designer offers you the same functionality as an API, but makes most tasks, such as report layout, much simpler. You can also use the Designer to attach scripts to embed business logic into the report.
