In the Eagle Portal, a dashboard report consists of various dashboard parts that you can select, with each part constructed from an Eagle Portal query report. If you have permissions, you can add new dashboard parts, configure dashboard parts, and manage and publish dashboard parts. You can also review in which views a specific dashboard part is being used. To help you create and modify dashboard parts, you can use the step-by-step Dashboard parts wizard.

The dashboard parts are defined by the Eagle Portal Administrator.
