Creating a dashboard

When you open Dashboard Editor, the following objects are opened by default:

A first dashboard diagram, Document_1, in the editor pane in the center of the interface.

Four example symbol palettes in the Palette pane at the right of the interface.

For more information about palettes and symbols, see Using the Symbol Editor in Developing with Design Tools.

Although it contains no symbols, Document_1 is an active dashboard diagram. You can add symbols and background objects directly into this diagram.
