Setting JDashboard as the server home page

Setting JDashboard as the JReport Server user console home page allows for a faster and easier access to frequently visited dashboards with their latest data. The feature saves JDashboard status as the contents of the home page, such as which dashboards are open and which dashboard is active. Then you will be able to easily access the JDashboard with the saved status by one of the following ways:

• Log onto the JReport Console page and you will be directed to the Home tab right away which displays the JDashboard. The Home tab is available after you have set JDashboard as the server home page.
• Click the Home tab on the system toolbar of the JReport Console page to switch to the JDashboard.

To set JDashboard as the server home page:

1. In the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > General tab on the JReport Administration or JReport Console page, set the option Use JDashboard as Server User Console Home Page to Yes to enable setting JDashboard as server home page.
2. In JDashboard, open the dashboards that you are going to view a lot and make sure they have been saved. Focus on the dashboard you would like to see first once the JDashboard is loaded, then click the Options button on the side bar and you will see Set as Server Home is enabled on the option list. Click the option to set the current JDashboard status as the home page.

In the same JDashboard window, you can set the home page at any time you want. The last time you do this before exiting JDashboard will take effect.

To cancel setting the home page, in the Profile > Customize Server Preferences > General tab on the JReport Administration or JReport Console page, uncheck Yes for the option Use JDashboard as Server User Console Home Page.
