Step 2 - Setting up the Panel 

• Enter a header for the panel such as Applications. This will appear as the tab label. Click on Panel Options (1) and enter the header (2).

It's important to define which data within ManagementStudio should be displayed within the Panel. One or many data sources can be used for a single panel:

• Change to the Panel Apps Data Source area in the ribbon.
• Select All Applications.

• Click on th Plus symbol to add more panels to the dashboard.

Step 3 - Adding Charts to the Panel

• In the chart picker ensure the dropdown is set to Applications or the target module.
  
• Drag the Application Process Totals chart onto the panel.
• Drag the Application Readiness chart onto the panel.

• Click Menu -> Save Dashboard.

• Enter a name for the Dashboard such as Test Dashboard (1).
  
• Enter a brief description of the dashboard (2).
• My default (3) - This will be the dashboard you see when you click on the dashboard button.
• Public to All (3) - Any User can chose to view this dashboard, but they can't edit it.
• Click Save New (4).
  
• Click Restart.

Step 4 - View the Dashboard

• Click Dashboard (1) -> My Dashboards (2) -> Test Dashboard (3) to view the new Dashboard.
