Shown in a box.Text boxA box into which the user cantype a value.Date pickerA control into which the user cantype a date or can click a buttonto choose a date.Check boxA check box that the user canselect or clear.Search boxA control into which the user cantype a value or can click abutton to search for a value in alist.Dashboardlibrary objectAn element that has beencopied to the dashboard library.See “Using theDashboard Library.”You can move and resize these elements as needed. You can place elements in front of each other, forexample, if you want to display a label in front of a graphic. The Designer provides a couple of toolsyou can use to fine-tune the placement and size of the elements.1.3.2 Links Among ElementsYou can create links between elements for several purposes:• You can specify a link between two elements so that one element filters the other one. For example,if a user selects a customer from a drop-down list, that selection can filter a pivot table or otherdata element.• You can specify a link between two elements so that if the user selects or makes a change in oneelement, that refreshes the other one. For example, you can add a Search button that updates apivot table or other data element.Frequently, you combine the two preceding types of links. For example, if you have a filter linkfrom a drop-down list to for another object, you might also add a refresh link between these objects.• You can specify a link between a timer control and a timer.6 Using the DeepSee Dashboard Designer
Not all elements can be used in links. But for any element that can be used this way, that element canparticipate in multiple links. It is quite common, for example, for a given drop-down list to controlmultiple data elements.1.3.3 Programmatic Connections Among ElementsIn some cases, you can use one element to set the value of a system variable or a custom variable thataffects another element, which you connect as a refresh target.For example, a user might select a number from a list, and that could control the number of top-rankedmembers displayed in a pivot table.For another example, the default value of a label could use the $$VAR function to display your customvariable. The value of this variable could be set by another element, which refreshes the label.1.3.4 Post ActionsYou can configure a dashboard element so that when a user clicks the element, DeepSee performs oneor more post actions after any filter and refresh actions. A post action does one of the following:• Displays a dashboard, possibly in a new window.• Displays a Web page in another browser window.• Displays a small child window that displays the value of a KPI.Logging Into DeepSee1.4 Logging Into DeepSeeTo log into DeepSee:1.
