Creating and Configuring a View

A view is a collection of dashboard pages that supports the needs of users in a specific user role. One of the pages is selected as the default page for the view. Users can switch between pages using the page selector.

You can also define the appearance of the view by selecting a skin for it, if that feature is enabled.

You associate a view with a role using role preferences. See Creating and Configuring Role Preferences.
