The configuration section is the heart of the dashboard designer solution. In this section, the user can configure all aspects of the final dashboard, including how it will look, which data will be displayed, and how it will function

It is important to note that the configuration of this section affects the section below it.

In the configuration section, you will find a variety of configuration and filtering tools. Below is a description of each tool and its behavior.

Edit/View Modes

View

The dashboard designer can be in an "Edit" mode or ‘View" mode, which can be selected with a toggle.
Using the "View" mode, you can only filter the existing items (Pie, Charts, etc.), but you cannot create or edit them.

Filter

The "Filter" option lets you filter all the fields on the original report. If you select the fields you want to filter, you can then select the values for those fields. In this way, the dashboard will be filtered based on the values you put in.

Edit

The "Edit" mode allows you to create, edit and configure different dashboard items (Pie, Charts, etc.).

Dashboard View Options

The dashboard view options allow users to configure specific features for the dashboards they create. The available options are:

  • Allow Filters: This option enables users to apply filters to the dashboard data when accessed through the Panorama Analytics view.

  • Allow View Report: This option allows users to view the fields used to build the dashboard when accessed through the Panorama Analytics view.

  • Refresh Every X Minutes: This option sets an automatic refresh interval for the dashboard when accessed through the Panorama Analytics view. The minimum refresh interval is 10 minutes, and the maximum is 999 minutes. The default interval, when activated, is 60 minutes. This feature is applicable only to Asset, Event, and Detailed reports.
