Time for action – creating a dashboard page

2. In the Select a Dashboard Page Template, choose the first option, which is 1 Zone, and click on OK.

3. Rename the dashboard to Sales Dashboard.

Click on Expand Reports, expand PerformancePoint Contents, and under it you will see the report Sales by Territory that was designed in the previous example.

6. Drag-and-drop the Sales by Territory report into the Dashboard...
