(ResultsManager Professional edition only)
Dashboard maps are managed in the Dashboard Options dialogue. You can find this by either
- Clicking on the ResultsManager tab | Options group | Options | ResultsManager Options then clicking the "Dashboard Options" button, or
- Clicking the ResultsManager tab | Dashboard group | Create Dashboard then clicking the Options button
Dashboard Options dialogue
On the left of the dialogue are configuration options that apply to all Dashboards, and are described in Dashboard Configuration options above.
On the right of the dialogue is a list of available Dashboards that you can use. These are the Dashboards that appear in the Dashboard Selection dialogue when you choose a Dashboard to generate.
Click the links below for an explanation of the buttons for managing the list of Dashboards.
Move Up
Moves the currently selected Dashboard up the list, unless it is already the first item. You can define the order in which Dashboards are shown so that your favourite ones are nearer the top of the list when displayed in the Dashboard Selection dialogue.
Move Down
Moves the currently selected Dashboard down the list, unless it is already the last item. You can define the order in which Dashboards are shown so that your favourite ones are nearer the top of the list when displayed in the Dashboard Selection dialogue.
New
Inserts a new Dashboard below the currently selected one, and opens the Dashboard Details dialogue so that it can be edited. In the current version, a maximum of 100 Dashboards can be defined.
When this button is clicked, ResultsManager checks the currently selected map in MindManager to see whether it is a Dashboard Template map. If it is, then information is copied from the Map Properties into the Dashboard Details dialogue, to simplify the addition of new Dashboard Templates. This is described in Appendix H.
Delete
Removes the currently selected Dashboard from the list. Note that this does not delete the associated template, source or destination maps but leaves them in place. If you delete all the Dashboard on your system, ResultsManager will automatically restore the default ones the next time this dialogue is launched, or when a Dashboard is created.
Modify
Opens the Dashboard Details dialogue so that you can edit the currently selected Dashboard.
Duplicate
Makes a copy of the currently selected Dashboard, and inserts it below the current selection. ResultsManager makes a copy of the template map associated with the selected Dashboard, and prompts you for a Save location for this new map. The Dashboard Details dialogue is then opened so that you can complete the editing for the new Dashboard. In the current version, a maximum of 100 Dashboards can be defined.
Manage Master Filters List
Clicking this button allows you to maintain the list of Filters that is available to the Add Dashboard Filter command. Predefined filters can be added to or removed from the master filters list. Note that in ResultsManager Professional Edition only, the master Filters list is imported and exported together with the other master lists (Contexts, Owners, Categories and Areas) from the main ResultsManager Options dialogue.
