In this chapter, you learned why one would want to create dashboards (mainly to get all the other support teams off our backs!). You learned how each of the widgets function, and then how to link them together to make a dashboard that is interactive, based on selections made within widgets.

We also unraveled the mystery of the interaction XML file and how to get the information we require into it.

We satisfied the techies in this chapter. In the next chapter, we will take a trip through creating reports and views, which will keep even the fussiest executive happy with the new custom reporting.
