Dashboards and reports are used to display data returned from a configured data provider. The graphical dashboard items of a dashboard allow users to quickly identify relevant information and trends surrounding the data managed by the data provider. Reports allow for the sorting and categorization of data managed by a data provider
To access the Gallery area of Reporting Dashboards click Gallery at the bottom of the left pane:
The Gallery pane is displayed. This area allows you to access items you have created, as well as public dashboards/reports and any items that are shared with you.
In the Gallery pane, dashboards and reports that you have created that are not assigned to a category are listed first. (To create a new category, see Creating New Categories.)
The Public Items category includes public dashboards or reports that all users have access to.
The Shared With Me category contains dashboards or reports that are not public but that have been shared with you.
Beneath the Shared With Me category your custom categories are listed, which contain the dashboards or reports you assigned to them.
To expand or collapse a category, click the arrow at the left of the name of the category.
To create a new category, see Creating New Categories.
To view an item, click the name of it in the Gallery. Each item is opened in a new tab in the item viewer and contains the graphical or categorizations configured for the item. See Using the Item Viewer.
