Enabling interaction mode

If a dashboard is in edit mode and the mouse pointer is over a widget, the widget controls are displayed.

If the widget content allows user interaction, interaction mode enables this in an editable dashboard. For example, an Application Studio report might include drag and drop functionality to enable users to configure the report. But if that report is displayed in a widget, dragging will reposition the widget unless you first select interaction mode.

Click Interact to enable interaction mode. The interaction mode icon varies according to the content of the widget.

  1. If the dashboard is locked, click Edit Dashboard to enable edit mode.
    The borders of existing widgets are displayed.
  2. Place the mouse pointer over the widget to display its control buttons.
  3. Click Interact.
    Or, double-click in the widget to enable interaction mode.
