Components enable you to build the dashboard's user interface and display data. You can use components across multiple dashboards and dashboard groups in the same Maintenance Unit.
Create a Dashboard Component
Select the Components node and click the Create Dashboard Component button. From the Create Dashboard Component window, select a component, and click the OK button.
In the Component Properties tab, name the component. You can feed parameters and other Substitution Variables into the description so that they display in the resulting component when run in a dashboard.
Example: Account: |!TrendAccountParam!| Year:|WFYear|. If the existing and accessible Parameter TrendAccountParam returns Net Income Region and the user's Workflow POV Year is set to 2012, the description text Account: Net Income Region Year: 2012 will display when processed.
Manage Components on a Dashboard
Navigate to the dashboard in your Maintenance Unit and select the Dashboard Components tab.
To add and assign a dashboard component, click the Add Dashboard Component button.
To move a dashboard component up in the Components list, select the component and click the Move Up button.
To move a dashboard component down in the Components list, select the component and click the Move Down button.
To remove a dashboard component from the Components list, select the component and click the Remove Selected Dashboard Component button.
