Dashboards
Use Dashboard Designer to create, view, modify, delete, or import and export dashboards. You can create dashboards to view multiple widgets and set relations between the widgets. You can also view, modify, or delete widgets within a dashboard. You can create Data Sets and use those Data Sets to display transformed data within the widgets of the dashboard.
You can create dashboards either by creating dashboard components from scratch or by creating custom components first and then adding them to your dashboard. You can also create specialized widgets such as web widgets or multi-chart widgets within a dashboard.
