Manage Dashboard Contents :: SAS(R) BI Dashboard 4.3: User's Guide

Overview

As you interactively manipulate the contents of a dashboard, you can undo and redo your actions.

To manage the contents of a dashboard, create or edit a dashboard. For more information, see Create or Edit a Dashboard

To add content:

To add a horizontal or vertical flow container to the dashboard, drag one from the Layout Templates view of the Objects pane onto the dashboard.

For information about flow containers, see The Layout Templates View.
To add an indicator to the dashboard, drag an indicator from the Library view of the Objects pane onto the dashboard or into a container.

Note: You can add an indicator to the same dashboard only once.
To add a label or an image, drag one from the Static Content view of the Objects pane onto the dashboard.
To create a link from a label or an image, select the object, and then specify values for the properties in the Link Setup area of the Properties pane.

To align and size objects:

Select the first object, to which other selected objects will be aligned or sized.
Hold down the CTRL key, and then select one or more objects.
Select an alignment or sizing option:
- For alignment options, select EditAlign, and then select an alignment method.
- For size options, select EditSize, and then select a size method.
- To display a grid of dots on the dashboard background, select ViewShow Layout Guide.
Note: If there is only one object on the dashboard and you select the object and then an alignment, the object is aligned to the dashboard itself. For example, selecting a single indicator in the dashboard and then selecting EditAlignAlign Top moves the indicator to the top of the dashboard.
