In order to use B1 Dashboard you need to turn in on in the main configuration. A special thing compared to turning on other modules is that Dashboards allow you to define what users actually run this module. This is done with the "..." button next to the checkbox

 

dashboard_config_select_users

 

If you do nothing all users will default have the dashboards but you can override this by choosing the include or exclude certain users or user-groups. For more info on users and usergroups go here.

 

Search configuration

You can control if B1 Dashboard should search in SAP data/menu items by navigating to:

Administration -> B1 Usability Package -> Module configuration -> B1 Dashboard -> Dashboard Configuration

The "Refresh interval" option controls how often the internal SAP data cache should be refreshed.

NB: the Refesh interval have no influence on Web dashboard as they do not support automatic refresh

 

Search with Business Partner code

 

When enabled, if you click a business partner from the drop-down dashboard search results, you will search with that BP code instead of opening the BP master data form.
