Reports Inside Dashboards

Adding a report to a dashboard is something that I covered extensively in Oracle CRM On Demand Dashboards (McGraw-Hill/Professional, 2010), but I include it here as well simply because displaying a report in a dashboard is one of the many methods of embedding reports and I would be remiss if I did not give it some attention in this book as well. For a more complete description of dashboard development, please refer to my previous book. For a brief explanation of embedding reports inside of a dashboard, keep reading.

To add an existing report to a dashboard, navigate to the Dashboard tab and click the Manage Dashboards link. When you click the Manage Dashboards hyperlink on the Dashboard tab, you open the Manage Dashboards screen shown in Figure 4-3.
