A dashboard is a container that has a collection of one
or more indicators, and labels and images that enhance the dashboard.
Dashboards can display critical information in a way that can be interpreted
and monitored at a glance. A dashboard can also contain links to additional
types of information, including Web pages, reports, and other dashboards.
A dashboard can be displayed in the dashboard viewer or in a portlet
on a portal page within the SAS Information Delivery Portal.
When you create a dashboard,
you can lay out dashboard content in the following ways:
-
manually. You can specify each
aspect of the layout by making changes to the indicator and dashboard
property settings.
-
by using a template. You can use
a layout template to quickly and easily layout the content of your
dashboard. The template dynamically flows the indicator layout to
the size of the dashboard.
