This section is targeted to assist you with options related to configuring a new dashboard. Without using the Wizard you can use the helpful information in this section to assist you in configuring and designing your dashboard. It is recommended you familiarize yourself with terminology used in this section by visiting the Terminology section of the help.

 

Although this section will demonstrate the functionality to configure a dashboard from scratch, you can access any of these options through the functionality of the Side Menu at any point in your Dashboard design.
