Creating a New Dashboard

The first step in creating a new Dashboard is to establish the Dashboard’s basic properties. This includes: the Category, Grid Size, Name, Timer interval, and Owner of the Dashboard.

NOTE: A user must be defined as a Master user to create a new Dashboard (see QuickStart Wizard).
