Managing add-ons in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards

In this recipe, we will show you where you can find third-party add-ons and how to add and remove them in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards. Dashboard add-ons will consist of the .xlx extension.

Getting ready

To install an add-on, you'll first need to download it. The following recipes in this chapter will guide you to the right places to get these files.

Note

If you are using Windows Vista, you must turn off User Account Control (UAC), otherwise the Add-On Manager menu items will be disabled. To do so, go to Start | Control Panel | User Accounts | Turn User Account Control on or off.

How to do it...
