Report

The Report toolbar is used to manage dashboards and create new dashboard reports.

Show Dashboards

The Show Dashboard command toggles whether dashboards should be displayed or hidden for the currently selected log file.  If dashboards are displayed, they will appear as tabs next to the Log Data View tab at the bottom of the Log Entry Grid.

All other commands on the Report toolbar will be enabled only if dashboards are currently displayed.

New Dashboard

Creates a new dashboard tab.  You will be prompted to provide a name for the new dashboard.

Import Dashboard

Imports a previously exported dashboard (see below).

Export Dashboard

Saves the currently selected dashboard to a file for later import (see above).  Exported dashboards can be shared.

Delete Dashboard

Deletes the currently selected dashboard.

Report Wizard

Launches the Dashboard Report Wizard which can be used to produce any type of report.  Several commands in Report dashboard rely on the Dashboard Report Wizard and simply load the Wizard directly in the required state.  For example, the Bar command is simply the Report Wizard with the chart type decision predefined.
