Reporting Dashboards is used to graphically display data returned from a configured data provider as a dashboard, or display data as easily categorized and sorted reports. Dashboards can contain multiple dashboard items including basic pie, chart, and bar graphs, or more advanced displays such as gauges, pivot tables, and maps, all of which allow users to quickly identify relevant information and trends surrounding the data managed by the data provider.
Multiple dashboard items can be displayed in a single dashboard, and the dashboard can be configured to allow the elements of one dashboard item to update the information displayed in other dashboard items, allowing for a dynamic, real-time view of measurements surrounding stored data.
