Customizing JDashboard Profile
You can configure the preferences and features of JDashboard using the Server Console. This topic describes how to configure server profile for all users and configure user profile for yourself, and describes the properties of JDashboard profile.
Administrators can provide default settings for running JDashboard for all users, in the Server Profile. Any user can configure JDashboard preferences in the My Profile for themselves, that is, they can decide whether to disable the features that administrators have enabled.
To configure JDashboard preferences and features:
- Choose according to your user account:
- Anyone can configure for themselves: go to the My Profile > Customize Profile > JDashboard tab.
- Administrators can configure for all users: go to the Administration > Server Profile > Customize Profile > JDashboard tab.
- In the Features tab, select the feature profile from the Default Profile list which will determine the features that are available in JDashboard.
Logi Report provides a Default profile in which Server enables all the JDashboard features. Administrators can create, edit, or remove the customized feature profiles. End users can only select a profile and view its settings.
- To create a profile, select New Profile. In the JDashboard Profile dialog box, create the profile.
- To edit a profile, select Edit in the profile table.
- To remove a profile, select it in the profile table, then select Delete.
- In the Properties tab, specify the properties for configuring the JDashboard preferences and screen elements.
Whether a command is available in the JDashboard window depends on two factors: whether you have enabled the corresponding feature in the selected profile and whether you have enabled the property in the Properties tab. If you disable a feature in the profile, JDashboard will hide the corresponding command from the window even though you have enabled it in the Properties tab. - Select OK to accept the profile settings.
The following table describes the properties for configuring the JDashboard settings. The properties for customizing the screen elements are classified for the two working modes of JDashboard: Edit Mode and View Mode.
