Once a dashboard has been created, the new dashboard appears under the DASHBOARDS heading in the Navigation pane, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 3 – Dashboard interface in the Service
Like viewing reports in the Service, viewing dashboards in the Service presents a ribbon with various different functions. Some of these functions are essentially the same as they are for reports, and are as follows:
- Comments
- Usage metrics
- View related
- Favorite
- Subscribe
- Share
Since these functions operate identically or near-identical to the analogous report functionality we covered in Chapter 8, Using Reports in the Service, we will not explore them in depth here. Now, we will explore some of the more exclusive functions of dashboards.
