Working with Program Dashboard Tile Types

You can choose from a variety of tile types to create a custom dashboard.

Overview: Overview tile types provide general information about the program such as name, ID, and description.

Chart: Chart tile types provide a visual representation of data contained within the program. Charts are created on the Charts page. Only charts with program subject areas will be available for program dashboards.

Map Viewer: The Map Viewer provides a high-level view of the locations of projects contained within a program. Specify what data is shown on each map pin using the Select Map Fields dialog box.

Photo: Use the photo tile type to add an image to a dashboard. For example, you may want to add an image that shows the physical status of your program. You can customize the image sizing to fit, fill, or be positioned in the center of the tile.

Text: The text tile type enables you to enter custom text. For example, you can add a link to your organization's homepage or your line of business.

List: Lists at the program level can be customized to display a top ten list of projects. If you select a top ten list for programs, you can configure how the list is sorted from the Sort By menu.

Count: Count tile types display the total number of objects contained within a program that a user has access to view. Choose from risks, files, or projects. Counts are an effective way to show a total amount of a specified object within the program. Users can navigate to object pages when they hover over the count tile and select  More.

Cost Summary: The Program Budget tile displays the costs of the program including Approved Manual Current Budget, Approved Original Manual Budget, Approved Manual Budget Changes, Approved Manual Budget Transfers, Pending Original Manual Budget, Pending Manual Budget Changes, and Pending Manual Budget Transfers.

External Content: Enter an external URL to display the content of a website in the dashboard. If the content cannot be viewed in the dashboard, there will be a link to the website which will open in a new window.

Measure: Use the measure tile types to display information about pre-configured measures of the program.
