This page describes a part of the Mobile Dashboard's process for configuring reports. For an introduction to the report configuration process, see Section 5.1, “Introduction To Report Configuration”. For an example of how a report can be configured, see Section 5.28, “Report Configuration Example”. For a general introduction to the online help manual, see Section 1.1, “Mobile Dashboard Online Help Manual Overview”.

Part of the configuration process is defining (telling the Mobile Dashboard) where the data is in the spreadsheet (i.e., defining the boundaries), and defining the column and row headers. Your spreadsheet may contain one or more spreadsheet "items" that contain data for display on mobile device screens. For example, there could be multiple worksheets and you might want a spreadsheet item for each worksheet (and display them on separate screens on mobile devices). Or even on a single worksheet, there may be multiple tables that you want displayed on multiple screens. For many simple spreadsheets though, you'd likely have a single spreadsheet item for the entire spreadsheet.

Select Add Item to create a new spreadsheet item.

If you have previously created spreadsheet items, they are listed in the table. You may Edit Item or Remove Item for any previously created item.

Copy Item generates a duplicate of the selected spreadsheet item. This is particularly useful when a spreadsheet has multiple worksheets (tabs) that are similar, or has multiple similar tables within the same worksheet.

Review Item re-validates the item selected in the table.
