BI Dashboards

In web-based Infor BI Dashboards and Infor BI Dashboards on iPad, you can combine and layout reports from Application Studio WebServices report catalogs, and Web content, to create dashboards which can be shared with other users. Or, you can view individual reports or Web pages full-screen.

Infor BI Dashboards for mobile devices and web-based Infor BI Dashboards are cross-platform applications. That is, changes made to the content and properties of dashboards in one instance of the application are available in all instances of the application. If two users make changes to the same dashboard, both can save their changes. But the user who saves last is prompted that a newer version of the dashboard exists. The user has the option to overwrite the changes, or to save the dashboard under a new name.

When you sign in, a start screen is displayed. The start screen can be a new dashboard, blank except for the Infor logo, or a specified dashboard. In either case, you can open a saved dashboard from the dashboard browser, create a dashboard, or you can start adding reports and Web content straight away.

You can add content in three ways:

  • Drag items from a content connection and arrange them to form a dashboard. Each content connection is named and displayed in the toolbar.
  • Specify one or more WebView widgets to add content from the Web.
  • Click a report or WebView to display it full-screen.

If you display content full-screen, you can resize it by clicking Edit Dashboard and dragging its borders or, by pushing, adding another item of content next to it.
