Using PerformancePoint Services - Business Intelligence in Microsoft SharePoint 2013 - page 220

The ribbon helps simplify viewing, editing, and publishing dashboards and dashboard items.
• The Home tab provides toolbar commands to view, open, and manipulate dashboard
items.
• The Edit tab dynamically displays only those toolbar items relevant to the dashboard items
selected in the Workspace Browser. For example, the Edit tab displays no items until you
create a filter via the Editor tab.
• The Create tab dynamically displays toolbar items relevant to the item that you want to
create, such as a KPI, scorecard, dashboard, and so forth. The Details pane appears when
you select a dashboard item that shows information about that item. On the File tab, you
can view change settings, Save options, and default location for workspace files.

Not numbered in the preceding illustration, the Details pane appears when you select a dash-
board item that shows information about that item. You can create and save a workspace file on your
computer to view and manage your own reusable dashboard objects. This saves you time because
you avoid having to browse through a long list of dashboard objects that others might have saved to
SharePoint lists and document libraries.

The Dashboards document library contains only live dashboards that have been deployed.
