About the dashboard template
The JSPs in <context root>\dashboard\jsp define the dashboard interface for the Actuate BIRT 360 option. The dashboard template applies to the banner and content when the dashboard is visible as defined by dashboard.jsp, as follows:
<template:insert template="/dashboard/jsp/dashboardtemplate.jsp">
<template:put name="title" direct="true">
<bean:message bundle="iportalResources" key="MSGT_BROWSER" arg0="<%= pageTitle %>" />
</template:put>
<template:put name="banner" content="<%= bannerUrl %>" />
<template:put name="content" content="/dashboard/jsp/dashboardcontent.jsp" />
</template:insert>
The contents of a separate page or pages displayed on a dashboard use templates defined by that page’s code, but the surrounding interface elements adhere to the dashboard template.
