Creating a dashboard
Each time a saved analytic report is accessed from the Report view, the report loads blank. The end user must configure the desired node, time range, data and other options. You can embed
the Analytic Report widgets under a Dashboard Pane in a Px view, which causes the framework to save the report configuration. When an end user opens an Analytic Report in a Px dashboard, the Report loads with the last saved configuration.
