Assign data sources to dashboard components
To display content (e.g. charts, apps or tables) in a dashboard component you have to assign a data source to the component at first.
Most dashboard components support on server side provided data sources, such as Event, BigMemory and XML data sources. The MashZone NextGen App component requires a MashZone NextGen app and MashZone NextGen Views takes only MashZone NextGen Mashups as data sources. For the Inputfield and Image components data sources are not required.
For XML, JDBC data sources and RAQL queries you can define dynamical and reusable input parameters, see
Create Input Parameters.
Procedure
1. Create or open a dashboard in MashZone NextGen Dashboard. 2. Click the inserted component. The relevant properties dialog is displayed.
3. Click the 
Assign Data icon to edit the data source assignment. The Edit data souce dialog will be displayed. 4. Select and configure the relevant data source depending on the selected component.
The content of the selected component will be displayed with real data of the assigned data source.
