- Dashboard Tile: select Yes if you would like to use this saved search as Dashboard Tile. Dashboard Tiles appear on My_Dashboard and show entities in various stages with a numeric value. This value is calculated as a combination of column aggregate and the calculation method you choose. Give the Tile a name and specify the parameters for the numeric value. As the options suggest:
- sum shows the total contract value of all agreements found in the search
- average presents the average contract value of all selected agreements
- count displays the total number of agreements found in the search.
Note: A Search defined as a Smart link cannot be set as a Dashboard tile.
- Bulk Actions: use bulk actions to perform a given action on multiple agreements at the same time. This saves you time by not having to choose each agreement individually. Select Yes for bulk actions and choose the actions you would like to be able to perform in bulk
Note: For a global search, the admin needs to create a security group to give the the user access to see that Saved Search in the list and add it as a Dashboard Tile.
