Viewing a Dashboard
You can view a dashboard if you have the proper permissions. The following procedure walks you through opening one of JasperReports Server's samples, the SuperMart dashboard.
To view the SuperMart dashboard:
| 1. | Log in as user demo, using the password demo. |

The SuperMart dashboard opens in the dashboard viewer. This dashboard includes five reports and an input control.

| 2. | In the Country input control dashlet, click the text entry box. |
| 3. | Select USA, then click Close to change the data displayed. |
The four reports with Country data update to display data for USA only. the Top 5 report, which does not contain Country data, does not change.
| 4. | When done, click View > Repository to go to the repository page. |
Keep these points in mind when viewing a dashboard that has input controls:
| • | An input control may appear as a text field, a drop-down, a check box, a multi-select list box, or a calendar icon. |
| • | If one of the dashlets in a dashboard does not refer to an input control, that dashlet does not update when you change that input control’s value. Only dashlets that use the input control reflect the change. |
