Applying a dashboard template package
- Import the ZIP package according to the instructions in the “Importing multiple reports” section of the Changepoint Analytics Reference guide.
- Refresh the data sets (requires Cognos Administrator access):
-
- Sign into Analytics Portal.
- Click Team content > [Dashboard name]. The data sets, data module and dashboard appear.
- For each data set (Project Time, Resource, Resource Approval, Time), select the data set, right-click and select Refresh. Be sure to wait until the refresh is completed before proceeding to the next dataset.
-
- Add the dashboard to Changepoint (Changepoint Administration > Reporting > Synchronize Cognos Reports).
- Create a Changepoint dashboard (Changepoint Administration > User Interface > Dashboard Management) and add the dashboard to it.
Creating a schedule to automatically refresh the data sets
The dashboard includes the data that is available at the most recent time that the data sets are refreshed. A maximum schedule frequency of once per hour is recommended to avoid negatively affecting system performance.
- In Analytics Portal > Team content >[Dashboard name], right-click on the data set and select Properties.
- Click the Schedule tab.
- Click the Create schedule button.
- Select the frequency settings and then click Save.
