Switch between run mode and design/edit mode
There may be times when you want to switch between run mode and design/edit
mode, such as when you are making changes to a dashboard and want to view
them in run mode.
To switch to design/edit mode from a running dashboard:
Right-click a dashboard that is open in run mode.
Click Design Dashboard
in the menu.
In the foreground, a copy of the dashboard will
open in design/edit mode.
To save edits to a dashboard that was switched to design/edit mode
from a running dashboard and redraw them in run mode:
Right-click on the dashboard in design/edit mode.
- Click Save and Close on
the menu.
- Click OK on the Save
complete dialog box that opens (opens with the Save
and Close option only).
The dashboard will redraw in run mode, reflecting
changes you saved to it in design/edit mode.
 Please
Note: If you used Dashboard
Edit/Open, Desktop
Edit/Open, or a shortcut
to open the dashboard with changes to the data retrieved, those
changes will be displayed as long as dashboard window stays open
- even if you edit the dashboard and change its retrieval settings.
You can see the true results of your dashboard changes by using
the Open Dashboard window to open this dashboard (without
using the Edit/Open button).
