How to Create, Configure, and Manage a Dashboard › Plan the Dashboard

Plan the Dashboard

Before you set up a dashboard, consider the following points:

• The number of portlets you plan to include.

  This information helps you to determine if you need 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.
