A dashboard is a single page view of a set of charts.
* When the the [[wiki/User |user]] displays the dashboard, each report referenced by each chart is processed, and the current data is displayed in charts that are displayed on the dashboard.
* You can create multiple dashboards to show different sets of key indicators.
* A A [[wiki/User |user] can ] can indicate that a specific dashboard should be their '''home page '''within [[SmartSimple]], giving them an immediate view of key information from the system when they first log in.* Each dashboard needs to be permissioned to the [wiki/[User Role |roles] you ] you wish to be able to see the dashboard.
===Tables===
In order to make the creation of reports a little simpler, some of the [wiki/SmartSimple [SmartSimple]] tables are presented in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormalization denormalized] format when using the '''the [wiki/Report_Builder_Column_Settings [Report Builder (Neo)|Report Builder]'''].
For example, the contact record does not contain the company name; these two tables are linked at the database level through the '''CompanyID''' field. So contact table does not contain the company name field but rather a key field that links to the company table.
But when you use the contact table within the '''the [wiki/Report_Builder_Column_Settings [Report Builder (Neo)|Report Builder]''' it ] it will display a field '''Company Name.''' This means that you can use this field without needing to link the two tables together.
