How to Set Up a Dashboard

Before you set up a dashboard, consider the following:

• The number of portlets you plan to include.

  Helps determine if you require tabbed pages.

• How the portlets present information.

  You can plan for the visual presentation of graphs or the statistical presentation that is possible with rows and columns.

• The users with whom you can share.

  Some users do not have rights to the information you are presenting in portlets. In addition, consider individuals to whom you can give manager privileges for your dashboard.

Follow these steps:

1. Create the dashboard.
2. Configure the dashboard by adding portlets and laying out the portlets on the dashboard:
   • Dashboard without tabs
   • Tabbed dashboard
3. Share the dashboard.
