Create and modify Dashboards

In the BI User console

• Select File New Dashboard
• Define which "Template" you want to apply (e.g. 2 by 2, 2 over 1, etc)
• Under Objects General Settings, define the Page Title in the Properties tab.
• Use the Browse and Files panels to select the reports you want to use in this dashboard.
• Select Objects Untitled <x>, and name each panel.

Save the Dashboard, and make it available for use.

To make the dashboard available for 'End Users', you will need to first save it. When you save the dashboard, you can control if it will be accessible for yourself only, or for a wider user group.

• Dashboard is for own use only:
  If no-one else but a certain user is to have access to this report, you can save the report to the path:
  "Home/<User Name>".
  
• Dashboard is publicly available:
  To allow access to a report by many users, you can save it to the path:
  "Public/e360/<Folder Name>/<File Name>"

NOTE:
For users to be able to see the content of each panel, they also need to have access to the individual reports.
