Custom Center Tab and Executive Dashboard

Purpose: Create a custom Center Tab with customized links and a Center Tab Dashboard, using Saved Searches and SuiteAnalytics Workbook portlets.

Use Case: Create a client-specific testing tab to track the list of Test Cases, Test Case Progress, as well as the option to create a new Test Case.

Create Center Tab

1. Navigate to Customization > Centers and Tabs > Center Tabs > New.

2. Populate the Tab Name as you would like it to be displayed in the User Interface (e.g. “Client Name Testing”).

3. Select the Classic Center (or whichever Center you want to make the tab available).

4. Navigate to the “Portlets” subtab and select Custom Search and Analytics portlets (Select as many as you want available on the executive dashboard. For this example, select 3 Custom Search lines and 2 Analytics lines.)

5. Save.

Create Center Categories (i.e. dropdown list values for the Center Tab)

1. Navigate to Customization > Centers and Tabs > Center Categories > New.

2. Populate a Label for the Category (i.e. Tab name for dropdown in the User Interface).

3. In the Center Tab field, select the Center Tab you created in the previous section.

4. In the Link dropdown list, select the link to the saved search a user will be directed to when clicking this Center Category.

a. If users should be redirected to a custom hyperlink, navigate to Customization > Centers and Tabs > Center Links and populate a custom label and URL to be accessed from the Center Category page.

b. The Center Link Label will then be available for selection in step 4.

5. Save.

Publish Dashboard

2. Set-up the portlets with specific Saved Searches and SuiteAnalytics Charts.

a. Saved Search Example: Group by Test Case Status and add “Count” grouping.
