Overview

Resolver’s Dashboard Builder allows Administrators to build custom Dashboards using the Dashboard Data Sets published within their Org.

Before using the Dashboards feature, at least one Dashboard Data Set needs to be created and published.

Box and Whisker Charts use a box to represent the values that fall in the lower and upper quartiles and two lines (whiskers) coming off the box that represent the outlining values.

User Account Requirements

The user account you use to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to use the Dashboard Data Set Builder.
