Updated Manage Dashboards screen
You have a number of options and actions for each dashboard:
Edit
This title might be a bit confusing as it is not a link to set up dashboard items; it
is merely a link to change the title and the description, as shown in Figure 9.5. simply
make your changes, click the Update button, and your new settings will be saved.
Delete
To delete a dashboard, simply click the trashcan icon next to it, but beware,
there are
no
warnings.
Copy
The Copy function, which is available by clicking the Copy icon, allows you to
copy a dashboard across multiple projects, enabling you to quickly share your dash-
board setups and settings with other projects. Choose the project you wish to copy the
dashboard to from the dropdown menu, or choose to copy to all projects. Click the
Copy button, which copies the dashboard to your selected projects. You cannot repli-
cate a dashboard within the same project but can use it as a starting point for the next
one. This is shown in Figure 9.7.
Default
When you enter Yahoo! Web analytics, you are taken to the Control Center.
Your next move is typically to the reports themselves, where the default report is the
traffic overview. You can change the first default report and use one of your dash-
boards. select the Dashboard checkbox to make this particular dashboard appear by
default upon login.
View Report
Yahoo! includes a shortcut so that you can go directly to the dashboard
by clicking View reports. This is no different than choosing the dashboard from
the menu.
