Select the file format.
The Dashboard Editor supports two formats: XML (.idbd)
and binary (.idbin).

By default, Rogue Wave® JViews
dashboard diagram files are saved in binary format in the Dashboard Editor
installation directory. That is:
The binary format has the following advantages over the
XML format.
It is faster to save and load.
The generated file is smaller.
It needs less application memory when
loading and saving the file.
The dashboard XML format is more portable. If you need
to share dashboard files with applications based on different versions
of JViews Diagrammer, use
the XML format.
A dashboard application or editor based on a later version
of JViews Diagrammer can load
the binary files saved in earlier versions of Dashboard Editor.
However, a binary file saved by a later version might not be loadable
by earlier versions of Dashboard Editor.
