Dashboard Item Caption

Each dashboard item has a caption that is displayed at the top of this item. The caption contains static text and other information, as well as command buttons.

You can control the dashboard item caption’s visibility.

• When the caption is on, it is always displayed at the top of the dashboard item. Some command buttons are displayed when you hover the mouse pointer over them.
• When the caption is off, it is not visible by default. Some command buttons are displayed in a floating panel when you hover the mouse pointer over them. On touch-based devices, you need to do extra click to show the caption elements when the caption is hidden.

To show or hide the caption of a dashboard item, go to the dashboard item Options menu and use the Show Caption option.

The Range Filter dashboard item’s caption is not visible by default.

The dashboard item caption consists of the following elements:

• A static item is visible only if the caption is enabled (for example, the item caption, the data reducing icon).
• An action item is displayed only when the mouse pointer hovers over the dashboard item caption (for instance, the Export To and Values buttons).
• A state item is displayed only in specific dashboards states (for example, the Drill Up and Clear Master Filter buttons).
• A navigation item allows you to navigate through different dashboard screens (for example, Dashboards and Back buttons).

The table below lists the information and buttons that can be displayed in the dashboard item caption.
