Predefined Dashboards
You can use predefined dashboards immediately, without having to complete the process of making a customized dashboard from scratch. You can also use predefined dashboards as a baseline for a dashboard that you have in mind.
You can add or remove dashparts, edit dashparts, change the layout of dashparts, rename the dashboard, and give employees access to the predefined dashboard.
If your firm uses multiple companies, the data that is displayed in the dashboards and dashparts is based on the active company. When you change the active company, the dashboards and dashparts are refreshed to display data from the new company that you select. This applies to dashparts created using the Account and Account Detail dashpart bases.
When your company uses multiple currencies, you must define the presentation currency, which is the currency displayed in the dashparts of a dashboard.
