Personalize an Indicator

You can personalize some aspects of an indicator to suit your needs. These changes affect only your view of the indicator, not other users' views.

Note: You can personalize an indicator only when it has been set to allow personalization. Further, the following aspects appear only when they have been set to allow personalization: height and width, alerts settings, link settings, gauge type, and sorting method. For more information, see Configure the Indicator.

To personalize an indicator:

In the SAS BI Dashboard portlet, if the indicators do not have borders around them, move the mouse over an indicator.
Click in the lower right corner of the border around the indicator.

The Edit Indicator page appears.
To use the default height and width of the indicator, select the Use Default check box.
To change the height and width of the indicator from the default values, clear the Use Default check box, and type the height and width.
To manage alerts, click Manage Alerts.

For more information, see Create or Edit a Personal Indicator Alert.
To change the link settings:
1. From the Type drop-down list, select the type of link.
2. From the Open in drop-down list, select a window in which to open the link target.
3. If you selected an external link, type the URL of the link in the Link field.
4. If you selected a type other than an external link, click Select next to the Link field and select an item.
  
  The available choices depend on the type of link.
To change the display settings:
1. From the Gauge type drop-down list, select a type of gauge.
  
  You can also click Select to view the gauges graphically. For more information, see Select a Gauge for an Indicator.
2. From the Sort by drop-down list, select a value to sort on, and then select the sort method.
To restore all settings to their states as defined for the indicator, click Restore Defaults.

Note: Any personal alerts that you have created are deleted.
