Customizing the dashboard user interface with the web UI framework

With the web UI framework you can customize the attributes of the dashboard user interface.

About this task

In the Web UI framework, you can customize the following attributes of the dashboard user interface:
  • You can change the layout of the dashboard, including reorganizing and repositioning dashlets.
  • You can add new dashlets and remove existing dashlets.

Each dashboard user has a personalized dashboard because all the customized dashboard metadata is saved for each user in his or her user preferences. Once the user has customized a dashboard, the default dashboard definition is not used.

    The Customize Dashboard window is displayed.

  2. Make one of the following choices:
    • To change the layout, use the Layout panel and select one of the options. To view your changes, click Show Dashboard. To save your changes, click Save Layout.
    • To reposition dashlets, drag and drop the dashlet to the new location within the dashboard.
    • To remove a dashlet, select the one you want and click <X Insert Graphic>.
    • To add a dashlet, use the Dashlets panel and select the tag from which to add the dashlet. A list is displayed. Select the one you want to add and click Save Layout. To view your changes, click Show Dashboard.
