Dashboards and Their Components

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.
Dashboards consist of the following components:
  • indicator objects
  • static objects
An indicator includes associated indicator data and some indicators include a range.
