Adding content to dashboards
You can add content to a dashboard:
- From a content connection
- From a Web location, in a WebView.
A content connection accesses an Application Studio WebServices report catalog. Content connections are listed in the toolbar.
Infor BI Self-Service and relational self-service widgets enable you to create your own content. If they are installed, the self-service widgets are displayed in folders in a content connection.
To access content that has been added or updated whilst you have been logged on, click in the content connection.
A WebView displays Web content from a URL which you specify. You add WebViews from the Toolbox in the toolbar.
How you add the content determines whether the content is displayed placed on the dashboard or displayed full-screen:
- To add content to the dashboard, drag the content, or drag from the Toolbox.
- To display it full-screen, click the content, or click in the Toolbox.
You can add multiple content widgets and arrange them to form a dashboard.
If you add content full-screen you can resize it or push additional content next to it by clicking to enable edit mode.
See: Layout concepts.
When you add content to a dashboard:
- The dashboard is unlocked for editing.
- The borders of current widgets are highlighted.
- Content controls for each widget are displayed when you move the mouse pointer over the widget.
