Definition of Dashboards

You can use this function to create, modify or delete dashboards in Product-Centric View (PCV). A dashboard is a 3 x 3 table of nine query previews that you can use to get an overview of the results of the most important queries defined for the given application by means of a classification key.

Prerequisites

You have the necessary authorizations, which are granted to you in one of the following ways:
- In the Role Maintenance (PFCG) transaction, you are assigned to the PLM PCV Standard User (SAP_PLMWUI_PCV_USER) or the PLM PCV Administrator (SAP_PLMWUI_PCV_ADMIN) role.
- On the SAP NetWeaver Portal, you are assigned to the PCV Standard User or PLM PCV Administrator role.
You have defined query views used in the dashboard as well as their respective queries, or use the ones predefined by SAP.
