Customize a Dashboard
You dashboard may require modifications over a period of time. This procedure describes how to customize your dashboard to suite your requirement.
To customize a dashboard:

- Click the Object Actions > Customize.
- Change the details on the Dashboard Designer pop-up as required based on the descriptions below:
Name: Assign a new name to the dashboard if required. The maximum number of characters is 80.
Short Description: Add or edit the description that can help in searching the dashboard. The description can help to determine the intent of dashboard. This description is limited to 512 characters and is optional.
Long Description: Add or update any additional details that you wish to specify regarding the dashboard. The details may included vendor-specific names or acronyms that may help in searching the dashboard. This description is optional.
Inventory Object Type: The inventory objects associated with the reports added on the dashboard are selected by default. You can edit the selection to override the default settings.
Subsystems: Specify one or more subsystems from which you want to view data on the dashboard. By default, the appropriate subsystem is selected.
Inventory Defaults: Click to reset the default Inventory settings. This resets the default values under Inventory Object Type and Subsystems fields.
Report Category: Change the report category from the list if required. This field is mandatory.
Note:
Reports on dashboards are treated as stand-alone instances and are not linked to the original report. For example, when a name or scope change is made in the original report, those changes are not reflected in the dashboard version.
