Good to know when working with Dashboards – Sources

[Former Member]

The blog http://scn.sap.com/community/cloud-for-customer/blog/2016/06/03/interactive-dashboards has provided an overview of the general capabilities of dashboards.

This blog series here is intended to offer some hands-on experiences when creating a Dashboard with drill-down/navigation possibilities. Based on a specific example with 3 report views some additional background information is explained via additional blogs, which contain some important detailed information regarding features, functions and usability.

In step 2 of the dashboard wizard, when selecting the sources for your Dashboard, you should be aware which sources are displayed:

1. The list contains report views and not reports.


2. The list of report views depends on your authorization.

3. Only those views appear where the report itself is assigned to a workcenter view. This is often forgotten during implementation or testing of a new report. 


4. Please note that you should not use an ‘asterix’ for your search, instead just type your keywords.
