SAP BusinessObjects Dashboard Builder software provides the features and functions that enable you to leverage the following:

• Analysis and reporting framework – Track business performance with the help of an intuitive dashboard framework.
• Interportlet communication – Propagate any changes from one portlet container to others.
• Drag-and-drop functionality – Enable users to build or edit dashboards without the help of IT staff.
  • An option for personal or corporate dashboards – You can create and share corporate dashboards with multiple users or give users the power to create their own personal dashboards.
  • Flexibility in managing secured dashboard access – Administrators can manage user security and content access to enable the deployment of dashboards based on business function, role, or security profile.
  • Support for all SAP BusinessObjects content types – In a SAP BusinessObjects Dashboard Builder dashboard you can place all or part of any document or report from SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence software or Crystal Reports software; a workspace from SAP BusinessObjects Voyager software; a model from SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius Enterprise software; an Adobe PDF document; or Web content through hyperlinks.
• WYSIWYG interface for creating and editing dashboard layout – With little or no training you can create and share dashboards.
• Display multiple content types – On a single dashboard page, you can display multiple SAP BusinessObjects content types – from Crystal Reports to SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence documents, SAP BusinessObjects Voyager workspaces to Xcelsius Enterprise models.
• Drill down into a report – By drilling down from a summary level to a detail level, you can maintain the context of your analysis. A guided workflow allows you to explore your operational information without getting lost in the data or having to use another tool.
• Display multiple content types – On a single dashboard page, you can display multiple SAP BusinessObjects content – from Crystal Reports to SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence documents, Voyager workspaces to Xcelsius Enterprise models.
• Design using a drag-and-drop interface – You can design dashboards by using a floating toolbox and by dragging and dropping objects onto the page.
• Leverage the BI platform security – Because SAP BusinessObjects Dashboard Builder can be incorporated into your platform security model, you don't need to maintain a separate security model for your dashboards.
• Create Web-based content – The tool used to create the dashboards is a zero-client application that you access through a Web browser. This eliminates the need to install software on your desktop, making it easier for IT to maintain.
• Create multiple pages – A single click enables you to create an additional tab view within a dashboard – similar to the way you can create an additional worksheet in Microsoft Excel. A tabbed layout makes it easier to organize your content and allows dashboard users to navigate quickly through the information.
