About this task
Note:
- You can edit dashboards that you own or those you’ve been granted permission to edit.
- Only an administrator can edit the out-of-the-box dashboard that is Execution Dashboard. However, you can duplicate an out-of-the-box dashboard and customize it as needed.
You can use the following elements to create or edit your dashboard.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Data visualization | Enables you to present a visual representation of current instance data or temporary data that you’ve imported. Data visualizations include visualizations that you create in the dashboard designer and data visualizations from the library. |
| Filter | Enables you to filter the visualizations on a dashboard based on specified criteria. You can put filters either on the individual tabs or above the tabs so that the filter applies to elements every tab. Filters include both data filters and domain filters. You can create filters in the dashboard designer or select them from the library. |
| Heading | Provides a place for text at the top of a dashboard or section of a dashboard. Formatting for headings is limited to six heading levels. |
| Image | Holds static or animated images on the dashboard. |
| List - Simple | Shows table data that you can customize for the dashboard audience. |
| Process Mining - Map | Maps the different states that are part of your process and the transitions between those states. See which states the objects of the process are in and the speed with which they change state. Requires an existing Process Mining project. |
| Rich text | Holds text that you can format either as text or as html, including font selection, text size, highlighting, and hyperlinks. To edit HTML markup, open the HTML editor from the Configuration panel and select the Code tags < > icon. |
