8.5.2 Creating a Dashboard
A dashboard consists of one or more Viewsheets. To create a new dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Open the 'Dashboard Configuration' page (under the Server tab in 'Presentation' > 'Dashboard').
2. Press the 'New Dashboard' button under the 'Dashboards' table. This opens the 'Dashboard Properties' dialog box.
3. In the 'Dashboard Name' field, enter a name for the new dashboard. This name will be displayed on this dashboard's tab in the User Portal.
4. (Optional) Enter a description for the dashboard in the 'Description' field. This description is visible when the dashboard is being edited by administrator or user.

5. Press 'OK' to open the 'Edit Dashboard' dialog box.
6. In the 'Edit Dashboard' dialog box, choose a Viewsheet from the 'Select Viewsheet' list. This Viewsheet will be used as the dashboard.

7. Press 'OK'. This closes the 'Edit Dashboard' dialog box, and returns you to the 'Dashboard Configuration' page.
The new dashboard is now listed in the 'Dashboards' table, and will be visible to the users who have appropriate permissions.
