Creating dashboards with the Dashboard Builder
To create a dashboard and develop it with the Dashboard Builder, follow these steps:
1. If you are using the Project Explorer view, ensure that a project is selected.
2. In either the Project Explorer view or the Workbench Project view, select New > Dashboard from the File menu. (You can also right-click in the navigation pane and select Dashboard from the popup menu. In the Workbench Project view, you can also click the New button and select Dashboard from the Apama folder, or click the down arrow next to the New button, and select Dashboard from the popup menu.)
3. In the New Dashboard dialog, click the Dashboard Builder radio button, and enter information in the following fields:
a. Containing Folder is the folder where the dashboard definition file will be saved; by default this is the dashboards folder of the current project, but you can select another folder using the Browse button.
b. File name specifies the name of the new definition file. Specifying the .rtv extension is optional as Apama Studio will add the .rtv file extension. Apama Studio will not let you specify anything except .rtv as a file extension.
4. Click Finish. The name of the new dashboard definition file appears under the current project’s dashboards folder. Additionally, in a separate window Apama Studio opens the Apama Dashboard Builder tool showing the new dashboard.
Using Dashboard Builder, you complete the dashboard by adding visualizing and control objects and connecting them to live correlator data. For more information on completing dashboards, see
