Expanding (AdvancedDashboard)

This page deals with a workflow for expanding an existing SimpleDashboard and preparing it for LiveData - Integration.

Please keep in mind, that also AdvancedDashboards contain all elements of a SimpleDashboard. This is mandatory for fallback reasons if your dashboard is faced by problems with:

  • mobile devices / touch
  • uncommon screen resolutions
  • network issues
  • infrastructure
