When you have created several reports and charts then you can create dashboards which can show several reports on one page. Dashboard page with all key reports about the specific business area can provide a quick overview of the current business status and key performance indicators.
If you would like to share your reports on some web page using iframe or post them on big screens using wallboard option, or send on email, first, create dashboards in flex.bi. And only then you can share this dashboard as you see fit.

If multiple dimensions are in the pages section, an additional option Nonempty for pages is available to limit dimension members for the page filter drop-down lists [4]. The limitation is based on the dimension order, the selected value on the left dimension limits the value list for the dimensions on the right [5]. You can enable the Hide common dimensions feature [6] to hide the dimension from dashboard reports [7] since it is now filtered by a common page filter.
When you save the dashboard, all current common dashboard page selections are saved as well for this dashboard (and in this dashboard will override default page selection in included reports). All non-common report page dimensions after dashboard page refresh will use default report page selection.
After saving the dashboard you can select dashboard page dimension members and all reports which have this page dimension will refresh results.
