Adding a Dashboard Page

In this section you will add a Dashboard page to render the charts you created.

What can I put on a dashboard page?
 Dashboard pages can have charts, state machine components (if the TIBCO BusinessEvents Data Modeling add-on is used), and a page selector for switching between multiple dashboard pages. Different dashboard page templates are available for adding these components.
What are partitions and panels?
 Partitions split the dashboard into columns of a specified width. Panels divide a column horizontally into sections of a specified height. Each partition can have a different number of panels.

For more information, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Views Developer’s Guide.

  1. In TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer, select the C_Tickers and C_TickersByPrice charts. Click the New Dashboard Page toolbar button.
  2. You see the New Dashboard Page wizard. Name the page DP_TickerTracker and click Next.
  3. At the Dashboard Page Template Selection page, type the display name Ticker Tracker. The tutorial uses the default template. Click Finish.

    You see the Dashboard Page editor. It enables you to add panels and partitions and to populate each partition with components. These options are not used in the tutorial.

Postrequisites

You’ve added a dashboard page to display the charts you created. Next you’ll add a view, which configures a dashboard of one or more pages, and a role preference, which associates the view with a user role.
