If the slot already contains a report, the user will be asked if they wish to replace the existing report. The profile’s **micro-toolbar** can be used to edit the look and feel of the profile report once it has been placed in a slot, allowing a copy of the visualisation to be dynamically modified within the dashboard: ![Dashboard Profile Micro Toolbar2](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20Profile%20Micro%20Toolbar2.PNG) To make changes to additional report settings, right-click the slot and choose Edit Report. ![Dashboard Right-Click - Edit Report](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20Right-Click%20-%20Edit%20Report.PNG) To interact with the result-grid of a dashboard profile (for example to change sort order), right click and choose Edit Report. *Quick Snippet - changing a visualisation inside a dashboard* [Video](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Editing%20visualisations%20in%20dashboards.mp4) ### Instant Profiles Profiles can be instantly added to dashboard by dragging and dropping category data directly from the Database Tree. On dropping the category field, a choice of available report types will be displayed. Choose from: - As Profile - As index Profile #### Default View To set the default view that will be applied to Instant Profiles (i.e., any profile that is created by dragging from the Database Tree into a Dashboard, or by right-clicking and choosing profile from the Database Tree) first configure a profile to have the desired settings, then right-click and choose **Set Default State.** **![Dashboard Right-Click - Set Default State](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20Right-Click%20-%20Set%20Default%20State.PNG)** (Note: the dashboard must be in design mode to access this setting). *<>* ## Statistics <> ## Data Views Data Views can be dropped into a dashboard from an open Dataset View Tab. There are limitations on the data that can be displayed in dashboards, as DataJet Views can contain billions of records. ![Dashboard - Dataview](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20-%20Dataview.PNG) If there are less than 8196 records in the DataSet, then all rows will be displayed. If there are greater than 8196, the limit will be MaxDisplayRows. By default, MaxDisplayRows = 100. This can be modified by… (<>) Adding Data Views to DashboardsData Views cannot be created directly in dashboards.  The template and query must first be defined in a DataView tab, and the resulting DataView then dragged from the Open Workspace Tab into the dashboard. Large DatasetsTake care when adding large Data Views to dashboards, as rendering speed can be affected in browsers if very large amounts of data are included ## Panel Views Panel Views provide the ability to add statistical summary data to dashboards. They are accessed via the **Engineering | Panel Form** option and can be configured to display the desired number and layout of panels by adding panels and setting the number of columns: ![Panel View 1](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Panel%20View%201.png)Add new panels to the form ![Panel View 2](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Panel%20View%202.png)Configure layout of panels Each panel is set up by right-clicking and choosing Modify: ![Panel View 3](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Panel%20View%203.png) Once the panel form has been fully configured, drag the form from the Panel Dialog into a dashboard slot: ![Panel View 4](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Panel%20View%204.png) To Edit a panel form that has been added to a Dashboard, **Right-Click** the panel and choose **Open Copy**. It is possible to have multiple Panel Forms open at the same time. ## Funnel Chart Funnel charts can be added to Dashboards from: - An open **Funnel****Workspace Tab** - A **Saved Report** funnel report from the Report Tree ![Dashboard Funnel](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20Funnel.PNG) ## Rich Text Forms To add Rich Text content to a dashboard: 1. Create the text panel using **Engineering | Embedded Text (BETA)**.   This will open an Embedded Text workspace tab. 2. Copy and paste formatted text - which can include images - into the panel. 3. When the panel is complete, drag and drop the panel tab into a Dashboard slot ![Embedded Text Panel](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Embedded%20Text%20Panel.PNG) Updating Text PanelsIt is not possible to drop an embedded text panel into a slot that already has a component in it.   To add text to a populated slot, first use the **Right-Click | Delete Entr****y** option.  **<>** ## Venn Diagrams Venn diagrams can be added to Dashboards from: - An open **Venn** **Workspace Tab** - A **Saved Report** Venn from the Report Tree ![Dashboard - Venn](https://cdn.document360.io/73b6469b-c1e4-47e9-aa65-986c8ebd17ca/Images/Documentation/Dashboard%20-%20Venn.PNG)
