iConsole User Guide › Dashboards › Customize a Dashboard › Edit Dashboard Page Properties

Edit Dashboard Page Properties

You edit Dashboard page properties on the Administration tab under Searches. Choose the System category and open the Dashboard section. To create a new page, edit an existing page and save it under a new name.

To edit Dashboard Page properties:

1. Open the dashboard section and click Action, Edit Properties on the Dashboard Page that you want to customize.

   Specify the following dashboard properties.

   Number of Panes

   Specifies the number of panes in the current dashboard page. A page can contain up to 10 panes. The iConsole automatically adds a Pane Definition field for each pane.

   Pane <n> definition:

   For each pane in the dashboard page, choose a pane definition from the drop-down list of available definitions.

   A pane definition specifies the pane title and type (chart, list, or tree). Because all pane definitions are based on database packages, the pane definition also specifies the underlying SQL package and database SP, plus the drilldown pane definitions.

2. Click Save to save this configuration. Click Save and Run to save this configuration and view the results. Click Run to view the results without saving the configuration.

   The page and pane definitions are saved as search definitions (XML files) on the CMS. If you customize an existing page definition and save it with a new name, a derived search is created.

3. Use the Actions menu to test and publish the new derived page and make it available to users.
