A dashboard is a container (portal) that contains one or more
views (portlets). Dashboards are created as portal pages in WebSphere® Portal as
part of a dashboard page hierarchy. The root of the hierarchy is called a
label; it does not contain views. The hierarchy consists of a set of child
pages that contain one or more views.
You must have access rights in WebSphere Portal to
perform this task.
To create a dashboard, complete the following steps:
- From the Portal banner, click .
- From the Content Root list, click My
Portal.
- Click New Label.
- Type the name of the new label in the Title field,
and then click OK. For example, Department
42 Dashboard.
- In the Page Properties page, click OK.
- From the Pages in My Portal table, click
the hyperlink to the added label. The details of the label
are displayed.
- Click New Page.
- Type the name of the new page in the Title field. For example, Executive Dashboard.
- Click OK. A confirmation
message that the dashboard was created successfully appears is displayed.
- In the Page Properties page, click OK.
The dashboard is created with the label that you have defined.
