The Dashboard Editor

The Dashboard Editor is a point-and-click interface used to draw all kinds of schematics and dashboards. Made of standard vector graphic objects and dynamic symbols, the resulting dashboards can then be loaded and connected to actual data at run time. This editor is convenient for creating monitoring displays where the symbols are manually positioned on the display and then connected to their underlying real-world business objects. The Dashboard Editor is an extendible tool that can be customized to meet developers' needs. For details on how to use this tool, please refer to Using the Dashboard Editor.
