Steps: Set Up Custom Dashboards

Steps: Set Up Custom Dashboards

Enable or create the security domains you want to use to secure your dashboard.
You can create a custom dashboard so that users can access related worklets in 1 place.
As you create the dashboard, you can:
  • Enable users to add or remove worklets.
  • Map a prompt set to the dashboard.
  • Set up domain security access.
You can set up a
Dashboard Run History
report to analyze dashboard usage statistics. This report can display up to 6 months of dashboard run history results.
  1. Access the
    Enable Worklet for Dashboards
    task.
    Select a worklet, then select the dashboard you created.
    Security:
    Set Up: Tenant Setup - Worklets
    domain in the System functional area.
  2. For custom reports you want to add to the dashboard as worklets, set up the
    Worklet Options
    section on the
    Output
    tab of the report definition.
    You must share the report with the security groups you want to access the dashboard before you can add the worklet to the dashboard.
  3. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Dashboards
    report.
    Click
    Edit
    and access the
    Announcements
    tab to set up announcements for the dashboard. You can also add a photo, image, or video URL to the announcement.
    Security:
    Set Up: Tenant Setup - Worklets
    domain in the System functional area.
  4. (Optional) To enable the
    Dashboard Run History
    report, access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - Reporting and Analytics
    task and select the
    Enable Access to Dashboard Run History
    check box.
    Workday begins capturing dashboard run history after you enable the feature and therefore might not initially display any data on the
    Dashboard Run History
    report. The report also tracks dashboard tab executions.
