Accessing the Edit Dashboard Settings dialog

The Edit Dashboard Settings dialog is accessed from the Open Dashboard dialog

To open the Edit Dashboard Settings dialog:

  1. Click a saved dashboard name on the Open Dashboard dialog.

  2. Click Edit / Open...

The Edit Dashboard Settings dialog opens with the dashboard name displayed on the window caption (in this example, Cookie lines 1 - 3):

To display the list of dashboard control retrievals on this dashboard, click the drop-down arrow in the Retrieval list. Click a retrieval in the list to select it. The data type (SPC) or (DMS) will display near the bottom-right corner of the dialog, depending on which is associated with the selected retrieval.

The number of dashboards controls on your dashboard and the number of retrievals shown in the list differs if you have more than one dashboard control with the same retrieval. For example, the dashboard in this example (see Fig. 2 below) has five dashboard controls, but only three different retrievals (Fig. 1). So, when you change a retrieval it changes any dashboard controls that share that retrieval.

Saving changes you make to a Dashboard

When you make any temporary changes to a dashboard using the Edit Dashboard dialog, GainSeeker does not prompt you to save the dashboard with those changes. You can save the changed dashboard as a new dashboard or overwrite an existing dashboard. See Saving changes to a Dashboard
