Using a BIRT dashboard

Dashboards group one or more gadgets that display data. Users can analyze, download, filter, and monitor the data shown in each gadget. For example, a user can explore data by selecting a country name in a list gadget which filters data in a linked chart gadget. The chart gadget shows data for the selected country. Users can then view different perspectives of the chart data, such as viewing the chart data for selected years.

Users log in to Information Console to access dashboards. Users can then view existing dashboards, make new dashboards, or subscribe to shared dashboards.

Each user has a personal dashboard that contains all the information about dashboards created by the user or dashboards that the user subscribes to. Changes on a user’s personal dashboard persist across sessions in the user’s Information Console account.
