  2. Sub-tabs: navigate between various sections of your chosen dashboard tab.

  3. Manage tab: remove, move copy export, edit or delete your tab.

  4. Share tab: broadcast or share your tab.

  5. Report; export, share, information or expand. You may need to hover your mouse over the report to see this option.

  6. Filters: apply filters to the entire tab, subtab or selected reports (dependent on configuration).

Adding Prebuilt Dashboards

To add a dashboard that’s already been built, access left hand menu and either:

  1. go to My Dashboards > +

  2. go to Browse > Dashboards


Both will take you to Dashboards that you have access to. To open one, double-click or right click > open.

You’ll then be asked if you’d like to add it to your favourites (so that it remains on your dashboard tab list) or not.

Managing Dashboard Tabs

Once a tab has been added to your dashboard you can continue to update and edit them to suit your needs. The tab menu allows you to add, delete or edit tabs. By clicking on the tab link you will have a drop down menu from which you can choose the following options.

Move Tab

The first tab from the left of the page is the tab that will open first when you login.

  1. To move a tab location in the list, click the tab drop down menu icon.

  2. Move the tab up or down as required.

Share Tab

To share a tab with other users:

  1. Click on Share in the tab menu

  2. Add the recipients by user or group name

  3. Click Submit to distribute the tab.

The tab should now appear on their dashboard.

Export Tab

If you wish to export all the reports on a tab to one document then:

  1. Click on the Export option in the tab menu

  1. Exports are generally done in PDF format. Follow the prompts regarding layout and subtab selection (if available).

Remove Tab

If you no longer wish to have a tab on your dashboard, then:

  1. Click the Remove link from the tab’s drop-down menu.

    2. Confirm the removal by clicking OK on the confirmation prompt.

You can also remove a tab in the Move screen.

Note: you may also see an option to Delete a tab. This will delete the tab for all users and should be used with extreme caution.
