Use the PPM context
From version 10.2 MashZone NextGen provides the PPM context as additional data source. The PPM context is an easy way to use PPM analyses as data sources for your dashboard components.
With a PPM context, you can easily create dashboards based on data from a PPM sever. This allows you to directly access analytics results, such as measures and dimensions, without creating any favorite in PPM itself. In addition, dashboards based on a PPM context are automatically filterable, that is, it is no longer required to manually define filters across different components.
