PLEASE HELP: Using the Dashboard like a user?!?
keyahorm Ah, got it. Ok, the Dashboard is designed to highlight the key components of a report. All the tiles by default will re-direct a user to the report. There are a bunch of ways to play with this. If you want to expose the entire report page to a dashboard so the user can just interact with it in the dashboard, you can select "Pin Live Page" in your header in the report. This will pin the entire page to the dashboard.
If you were thinking you could pull elements from your report, and use the dashboard like another report page, it doesn't really work like that. Either you drill down to report level, or be taken somewhere, or pin the entire page.

Anonymous thanks that explains it. I just like the visuals of the Dashboard way better than when you pint he entire live report page... hmmm
