This chapter describes how to add other kinds of widgets to a dashboard:
The Dashboard Editor also provides the
Worksheet option, which is no longer documented; worksheets are now deprecated.
A dashboard can include a calendar widget like the following:
To add a calendar widget:
-
-
-
-
When you open a dashboard, this widget displays the current month, for informational purposes.
If your cube includes latitude and longitude data, you can include a map widget like the following on your dashboards:
Important:
This widget uses the Google Maps API. Be sure that your usage of this API is consistent with the Terms of Use, which you can access via a link in the widget, shown in the previous picture.
-
-
Optionally, in the Analyzer, define a pivot table that includes the columns
Latitude and
Longitude (not case-sensitive).
These columns should contain latitude and longitude values in decimal format (rather than degree/minute/second format).
You do not have to provide a data source for a map widget. If you provide no data source, the widget appears without any pins.
-
-
-
In the left area, click
Map and then click
Map.
-
For
Data source, select the previously defined pivot table.
-
-
-
Optionally configure the widget further as follows:
-
-
-
Specify the following additional options:
-
Zoom Initial zoom setting to use. A larger number results in a closer view.
-
-
-
If the underlying pivot table contains data in addition to latitude and longitude, you can configure the map widget to display that data. If the user clicks a pin in the map widget, the widget displays a popup window that displays the additional information.
-
-
The system displays a list of any properties defined for this map widget.
-
Click the plus sign + button.
The system displays a dialog box where you specify the property.
-
Specify the following options:
-
Label Optionally specify the text to use as the column header. (Note that you
cannot force a line break in this label.)
-
Data Value Specify the value to display. Select a data source property. You cannot use a static value or a formula in this scenario.
-
-
To add a widget that uses a custom portlet:
-
-
In the left area, click
Portlet. The list expands to show a list of choices. This list shows the short class names for all compiled portlets in this namespace.
-
Click the name of the portlet to add.
-
-
To add a controls widget:
-
-
In the left area, click
Controls Widget. The list expands to show a list of choices. Click the type of Controls Widget to add.
-
-
Click the Search button

and then select a data source.
-
Use the
Link to drop-down list to select another widget on the same dashboard.
-
-
-
Optionally configure the widget further as described in the rest of this chapter.
-
Note that it is not possible to hide the toolbar for a controls widget.
