Managing Views
This section explains how you can create new personal views, modify the name and widget layout of an existing view, change the order of the tabs in the view page, and delete existing view.
You can add as many new views to your Dashboard page as you wish. Each view can contain a different selection of widgets. For example, if you are a manager of two work groups, you may choose to create two different views, to help keep track of each work group separately. To create a new view:
- In the Dashboards page, click the plus sign (15px) at the end of the tabs. A new blank view opens, and its tab is labeled New View.
- Modify the properties of the view; see "Renaming a View and Changing the Column Layout of a View".
- Select widgets to add to the view; see Managing Widgets.
You can change the name of an existing view. To change the name of a view:
- On the right side of the screen, click Change Settings. The setting options appear on the screen.
- Under Change View Title, in the Title field, modify the name of the view.
- Click Save. The name is applied to the view, and the setting options are closed.
You can change the column layout of an existing view. The widgets in the view are arranged to fit into the column layout you select. The width of each widget is determined by the width of the column in which it appears. Within a given column layout, you can manually change the width of each column to suit the widgets that appear in them.
To change the column layout of a view:
- On the right side of the screen, click Change Settings. The setting options appear on the screen.
- Under Change Columns, click the desired layout, as follows:
Icon Description file:Sm_3columns.png Three columns of equal widths file:Sm_2columnsleft.png Two columns, with the larger on the left file:Sm_2columnsright.png Two columns with the larger on the right file:Sm_1column.png One column
To change the width of a column:
- Drag the border line at the top of the column to the left or right.
You can move the view tabs to change their order. To move a view tab:
- When the view is open, place your mouse on the top corner of the tab. The mouse pointer changes to plus.
- Drag the tab to its new location. Additional tabs move accordingly.
- When the tab appears in the desired location, release the mouse button. The tab is moved to that location.
You can delete existing views from the Dashboard page. To delete a view:
- On the right side of the screen, click Change Settings. The setting options appear on the screen.
- Under Delete View, click Yes. You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the view.
- Click Yes. The view is deleted, and the setting options are closed.
