Create a Mobile Dashboard

Use the Mobile Dashboard window (within the Mobile Dashboard Manager) to create and edit Mobile Dashboards. When you create a Mobile Dashboard, you define:

• General properties: Name, description, title text, and theme.
• Which Widgets to add to the Dashboard. Note: Remember, only certain types of Widgets can be used on Mobile Dashboards (ex: Charts, Gauges, Matrixes, and Search Results List).
  Note: Mobile Alert Dashboards are special because they use only Widgets that have alert states. For more information, see Create a Mobile Alert Dashboard.

1. Open the Mobile Dashboard Manager.
