<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Using Cimera > Dashboards > Dashboard Editor

The dashboard editor is accessed by either selecting to edit an existing dashboard (see Manage Dashboards) or from the main Cimera window Menu Dashboard > New Dashboard.

 

 

The dashboard editor has a Configuration pane, where the dashboard is defined by a series of dashboard elements, and a Preview pane where the dashboard can be viewed (by pressing the Preview button).

 

By default one dashboard element is added to the new dashboard. Additional elements may be added by pressing the Add Query button.

 

Dashboard elements are ordered or deleted using the buttons on the right hand side:

 

 

The x button removes the element and the arrow buttons move the element up and down the list of elements.

 

Each dashboard element corresponds to an existing query which is then configured;

 

Query

 

Select an existing query

 

Title

 

The title of the dashboard element defaults to the title of the query however it may be overridden

 

View

If this option is checked then the width is treated as a minimum width and the element will expand to use all available width
