Dashboard Page

Dashboards, reports and looks in Select Star each have their own page where you can explore a variety of information.

Different BI Tools use different words to describe dashboards, reports, or other specific views they use to organize data. These docs try to use language specific to the tool when possible, but in general this type of content is referred to as "dashboards."

This page gives a brief overview of the information available in three different areas:

• Basic Information

• Operational Information

• Dashboard Tabs
