Dashboard Properties
The Dashboard Properties dialog allows the user to update the properties for a given dashboard in the repository. A dashboard is used to group a set of dimensions and their rules into a subject area. For example, you might have one dashboard for monitoring sales data, and another for monitoring product data. The dashboards that you create are in addition to the system-defined dashboards that appear on the Monitor tab in the Information riser bar. Custom dashboards can be selected in the Monitor Viewer.
