Introduction

The dashboard is the landing page when your clients visit Tamarac Reporting. It shows the information that you share with your client and consists of the following elements:

For more information on the client portal dashboard page, see Client Views - Dashboard Page.

What Are Dashboard Tabs and Report Pages?

Add specific reports or pages to the dashboard to highlight them or bring them to clients' attention when they first arrive at the portal. Dashboard tabs appear beneath the dashboard tiles and link to reports that you add to the dashboard. When you add a report to the client portal dashboard, a dashboard tab is automatically created to provide direct access to each report on the dashboard.

You can add as many tabs as you want, change the name of the tab, and change the order that they appear. You can also control where the View Full Report link takes the user—for example, you can have a dashboard tab that shows only an Account Performance report with only month-to-date performance, but the View Full Report link shows month-to-date and yearly performance.

Add a Report and Dashboard Tab to the Dashboard Page

To add reports to the client portal dashboard:

  2. Click the Report / Pages tab.

  1. Choose an existing dashboard from the Select a Report or Page list, or in the Report and Page Types list, click Dashboard.

Link to Full Reports From Dashboard Tab Reports

From the Dashboard tabs, you can link to full reports. The reports appear as View Full Report links, as shown in the picture below. When linking to a full report, we recommend linking to a report that contains more information than the report you're linking from.

Full reports are the same as the reports that appear on the dashboard tabs. The only difference is that dashboard tab reports are shown on the dashboard and full reports are shown on the Reports menu. The reason we've named the reports "full reports" is because some users prefer to use "shorter" reports on the dashboard and link to a "fuller" report that includes more information. In theory, there's no real difference between a full report and any other type of report—we've simply named it "full report" because most users use the feature to link from smaller reports to reports with more information.

For more information on creating reports, visit Client Views - Reports Pages.

Under Dashboard Tabs, click the report where you want to create the link to the full report. In the Link to Full Report list, click the full report where you want the link to take the client.
