Creating a Dashboard
You create a dashboard through the GUI.
You can also create a dashboard directly in XML. The XML file must conform to a specific document type definition (DTD). For more information, see

Key Considerations
• You can define a project filter to apply to a dashboard at run time. Depending on how you design your dashboard, the dashboard project filter may or may not be applied to a dashboard component. It is important to understand how dashboard and project filters work together.
• Embedded reports require a lot of memory when the dashboard is run. Using multiple embedded reports in a dashboard can affect performance.
• To select charts, queries, reports, principals, projects, fields, and field values in the Create Dashboard and Edit Dashboard Layout dialog boxes, you must be familiar with using the data filter.
