A preview of the dashboard is displayed in the main display area of the dashboard designer. This preview is automatically refreshed when any design options are changed. You can also change the available runtime parameters of the dashboard to simulate the actions of a user viewing it.
To change the dashboard runtime parameters, click Parameters in the Data ribbon group.
The Parameters dialog box is displayed. The parameters that accept user input for all data providers assigned to the dashboard are included in the dialog box. Update the parameters for the data provider that corresponds to the data in the dashboard items that you want to filter or limit, then click OK. The preview display is automatically refreshed.
To refresh the preview display outside of any design or parameter changes, click Refresh in the Data ribbon group.
For details on other customization options, such as changing the title or currency settings of the dashboard, see Additional Customizations.
