Managing the Display Area

The Precision Dashboard display area is a single browser page that can contain up to six charts at a time. The default display area, as shown below, consists of a single chart in table view that lists one week of mailings. You can close the default chart and/or add charts of your own design to the display area.

Control	Description
	Opens an interactive panel to select settings for a chart to be added to the display. See: Using the Add Chart Dialog for instructions on configuring charts Adding Charts to the Display Area for a description of how the display area changes to accommodate multiple charts Selecting a Chart Type for descriptions of all available chart types
	Opens an interactive panel to edit settings for an existing chart. The panel is the same as the Add Chart panel except that there is an Update Chart button instead of an Add Chart button.
	Maximizes a chart so that it fills the entire display area and hides any other charts. Dashboard's corner icons have a unique appearance but perform the same functions as those used in typical windowing applications. You may find it useful to maximize a chart in order to examine it in detail.
	Minimizes a chart so that it returns to its normal size and position relative to any other charts.
	Closes a chart (removes the chart from the display area). An adjacent chart expands to fill the empty space. CAUTION: Closing a chart causes its settings to be lost unless you have saved the Dashboard layout.
	Drag this icon to vertically resize charts. Depending on the layout, the operation can affect multiple charts simultaneously. See Resizing Charts for details.
	Sets the view to a chart or a data table. The chart view provides a graphical representation of the data. The table view provides a tabular representation of the data and allows you to sort the data on any column as described in Sorting Chart Data.
	Specifies a new title for the display. The default display title is name Dashboard, where name is the client name defined during the initial e-Dialog setup process.
	Resizes the display so that charts sharing a section have the same width and/or height. See Resizing Charts for details.
	Loads the saved dashboard layout for the current user.
	Saves the current dashboard layout for the current user. Dashboard saves one layout per user.
	Converts the display to PDF (Portable Document Format). If you have the Adobe PDF Browser plugin, the document opens in a new browser window in which you can click the Print icon. See Printing the Dashboard for more information.
