Dashboards

With the inclusion of executive dashboards in the IBM Cognos 8 UI, the following additions were made to incorporate dashboard support:

• the bibus » dashboard class to instantiate the new content store objects

• the global capabilities, canUseDashboardViewerFileManagement for dashboard designers and canUseDashboardViewer for dashboard users

• the bibus » personalization class to enable persistence of personalization information

• the bibus » personalizationFolder class to instantiate containers for user-saved bibus » personalization objects

Instances of the bibus » personalization class are used to persist the state of dashboards so that designers can pre-arrange a dashboard layout for users and users can return to a dashboard layout they have previously saved.

This change affects:

• bibus » dashboard class
• bibus » personalization class
• bibus » personalizationFolder class
• bibus » folder » items property
• bibus » package » items property
• bibus » pageletFolder » items property
• bibus » account » personalizationFolder property
• bibus » shortcut » target property
• bibus » userCapabilityEnum » canUseDashboardViewer value
• bibus » userCapabilityEnum » canUseDashboardViewerFileManagement value
• bibus » installedComponentEnum » dashboardViewer value
• Use the Edit Features
• Executive Dashboard
