Editing mode

In the editing mode, a dashboard can be edited, reset or deleted (except default dashboards). Here, you also find a button for creating new dashboards. The buttons for this are located in the top right corner.

Edit dashboard

Below the buttons, the key performance indicators (KPIs) available for the current dashboard are listed. The are sorted into sections.

These KPIs can be added to the current dashboard via drag & drop. The KPIs that are already on the dashboard can be rearranged via drag & drop as well. After creating a new dashboard it is completely empty and can be filled with KPIs as desired.

For most KPIs, the data source needs to be set. There are the following options for this:

• Show data selection in view mode: If the checkbox is selected, the filters and choices are shown directly on the KPI in view mode as well.
  • Users can modify the data source for the current view on directly on the dashboard at any time. These changes are not permanently saved.
  • If the editing mode is opened and Save is clicked there, the changes made in the view mode are permanently saved.
• Do not show data selection in view mode: If the checkbox is not selected, the filters and choices are not shown on the KPI in view mode. Instead, the KPI has a "filter" button which opens a dialog window displaying all the checkboxes, dropdowns, etc. A preview of the KPI graphic is also displayed there.
  • The choice made in this dialog window can be applied to the current view with "Apply". It can be permanantly saved with "Apply & save" and is then also visible for other users using the same dashboard. It can be discarded with "close".
  • Note: If the editing mode is opened and Save is clicked there, all changes that were previously only fixed with "Apply" are also saved permananely.

Dialog window for the configuration of the KPI data source

Adding, deleting, resizing, and replacing of KPIs is only possible in the editing mode.

If the data selection is shown in the view mode, the KPI is not automatically resized. Instead, it is possible to scroll to the various options within the KPI if the available view is too small. For this, there is a scrollbar at the right edge of the KPI.
