I have built a few mashups. However, I am not sure how to put that in a Dashboard.
Is Dashboard a collection of individual mashups? For mashups, there is a direct URL for users to see. However, how do users get to see the dashboard.
Sorry, my questions are dumb.
Appreciate any input on dashboard.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi ,
Just to add to what Yamini already mentioned. Gadgets are reusable mashups that can be added to the Dashboard as many times as you can. You need to create a mashup called GadgetLibraryMashup and add the Gadgets to it first. Because GadgetLibraryMashup contains the Gadgets that can be added to the Dashboard.
Below are the steps on how to create Gadget, Gadget Library Mashup and Dashboard Mashup from the help center. Hope it helps!
Hi Ravi Kumar, Dashboards are user-configured portal pages that enable the user to specify which information displays and how to arrange it on their portal page. In more general terms, dashboards enable users to select and arrange the information they want to monitor in the mashup. They can add or remove gadgets, reposition gadgets on the page, and relocate gadgets to other tabs.

Thank you, Janet. This is super helpful. Thank you for the help.
As you suggested, I did below
1. Create a bunch of gadgets
2. Create a mashup (with layout) and added the above gadgets. (view mashup works fine)
3. Create a mashup, add dashboard widget and assign the mashup (created in step 2) to the MashupToAddGadgets field.
However, when I click on viewmashup for the last one (Step 3). I get below error
No dashboards available - use "Add Dashboard" to create a dashboard for yourself
Do I need to create Dashboard from the Gadget first?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi
Glad it helped!
Once you click on View Mashup , you will be able to add a Dashboard by clicking on the gear icon on the top right corner of the page.
I was able to create dashboard from the 'Gadget Library Mashup'. However, I couldn't create it from 'DashBoard mashUp'.
The new dashboard now shows all the gadgets I had placed in the MashUp.
Thank you.
I still have doubts on how the end user will see the dahsboard as it doesn't have any 'ViewDashboard' option unlike 'ViewMashUp' for mashps.
So, does the end user goes to the 'Dashboard Mashup' in your example to view .
Thank you for all the help.
Thanks,
Ravi
Ravi,
Like you said , when you click on View Mashup from the Gadget Library Mashup , you will be able to see all the gadgets that you added .
Whereas when you click on View Mashup from the Dashboard mashup(the one to which you added the Dashboard widget) , you will see something like this.
If you have added the GadgetLibrary in the MashupToAddGadgets , then you should be able to add the Gadgets to the dashboard.
Follow the steps below :
Click on the gear icon and click Add Dashboard. Provide a name for the Dashboard. (I have given Dashboard1). Create Dashboard.
Once the Dashboard1 is created, click on the gear icon again and add a Group(In my example Group1), give a name and click create Group.
Now you can add Gadgets the same way we added Dashboard and Group. Click on the gear icon on the Group that was added and click on Add Gadget.
This opens up the GadgetLibraryMashup and you will be able to add the Gadgets to the Group.
My Dashboard now looks like
You can add as many gadgets as you like!
Once you design your dashboard, the user will be able to view and edit them as per his needs!
Please click on the attached screenshots to view the full image! Thank you.
Thank you Yamini!
