Managing dashboards in the Web interface

Use dashboards to see at a glance a high-level overview of the status of your project, team, or workload. The Jazz Team Dashboards component provides you the ability to create, share and manipulate dashboards.

Editions note: While Rational® Team Concert 1.0.1 Standard edition includes the full dashboard functionality described in this topic, the Express and Express-C editions now include limited dashboard support. In the Express and Express-C editions, each project area includes a single project dashboard with a single dashboard tab. Dashboards are not available for individual users or teams.

About dashboards
Dashboards are a Web UI component intended to provide information about the project status at a glance. It provides for easy drill down to get more complete information. It also represents the integration point for the data provided by all Jazz components.
Creating a dashboard
When a Jazz repository is initially installed, it has no dashboards. Dashboards are created as needed but the actual procedure depends on the dashboard type. Shared dashboards (project, team and profile) are automatically created when the associated artifacts are selected in the left column.

Configuring dashboard templates in the process
When a new dashboard is created, it will check if there is a template registered for the particular dashboard type. Default templates are specified on the server, but project administrators can override them by placing a template in the project's process specification.
Configuring viewlet chooser entries in the process
You can add custom viewlet chooser entries in the project area process specification. This is particularly handy for RSS or Atom feeds that are only relevant within the context of a specific project.
