A dashboard is a special Web Part Page that displays business data from a variety of different sources in high-level visuals like reports, charts, and key performance indicators (KPIs) (key performance indicator (KPI): A predefined measure that is used to track performance against a strategic goal, objective, plan, initiative, or business process. A visual cue is often used to communicate the performance against the measure.). The data displayed in dashboards can be filtered automatically or filtered by properties selected by users, enabling comparative data analysis across an organization. Because they pull together important business intelligence data from different sources in an easy-to-understand visual format, dashboards are useful tools that enable managers or decision makers to quickly assess the status of their business. On a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, you can create dashboard pages on Report Center sites.

In this demo, which builds upon Demo: Add KPIs to your SharePoint site, you will see how to create a dashboard page on a Report Center site and how to add a KPI Web Part to the dashboard page to display KPIs. You will also see how to add a KPI Details Web Part to a dashboard to display detailed information about a specific individual indicator.

How to do it (text version):

• Working with a Report Center site
• Create and publish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Share Excel 2007 worksheets and KPIs by using dashboards
• Show or hide dashboard pages in a report library
