placing multiple report widgets on a dashboard

Miranda_1

how can I place multiple report wigdets on a dashboard at the same time? can you really only select one report at a time? that also means i have to click through the whole folder hierarchy each time?

i hope there is a faster way? thanks for all tips

Hi @Miranda_1

Unfortunately you can only pick 1 report at a time. You might consider using the shortcut widget and listing all the reports instead of embedding them. In the shortcut window you can select multiple reports at the same time. You can also re-label them in the dashboard editor and reposition them within the widget window.

I know its not a great answer but sometimes putting too many reports on a dashboard can get overwhelming to the user.

I hope that helps.

Hey,

Yes you can only connect 1 report to every report widget on a dashboard but instead of scrolling down and finding it every time you can type the name of the report in the search box instead.

Hope that helps a little.

thanks for all the good tips!

the suggested work-arounds don't fit so well for me. it would make my work much easier if i could place several reports directly and thus also control the behavior of the widgets together right away :-)
