Using BIRT Dashboards : Working with a subscribed dashboard : Subscribing to a dashboard

Subscribing to a dashboard

Subscribed dashboard files contain one or more dashboards. Users can rename, reorder, copy, or delete a shared dashboard. Users can also interact with gadgets on a subscribed dashboard, for example, using data selectors to filter a report gadget, print a chart gadget, or interact with the data using BIRT Interactive Viewer. Modifications to gadgets on subscribed dashboards reset the next time the dashboard refreshes or updates.

Subscribed dashboards appear with the share icon on the dashboard title.

Users with write permissions to the dashboard file can update subscribed dashboard files. When a shared dashboard is changed, users that subscribe to the dashboard receive the changes the next time the dashboard opens or refreshes.
