Reports gadgets

For more convenient monitoring, reports can also be added to dashboards as gadgets.

Note

For a user to be able to view a report this way, their usergroup must have access to both the report and the dashboard(s) it is added to.

After a report is run, it can be exported as a gadget as follows:

1. Open the export tray and select Add to Dashboard.

2. In the Report Name field, enter a name for the report gadget.

   Note

   When exporting a saved report, replacing its name (default) will result in a new report being saved under that name. Unsaved reports will automatically be saved using the name entered.

3. Use the Dashboard Tab dropdown to select the dashboard to add the gadget to. If Don’t send to dashboard is selected, the report gadget will need to be manually added to dashboards at a later time.

   Hint

   Reports that have been exported directly to a dashboard can still be added to other dashboards.

4. Use the Display dropdown to select whether to the gadget should show the report graph only, table only, or both.

5. Click Save to save the report gadget.

After a report has been exported as a gadget, it will be included in the list of available gadgets when creating or editing a dashboard.
