✔✔Additional Information: Dashboard Editor - ✔✔Dashboards should be tailored to
their audience and tested to ensure they work.
Guidelines for creating and editing Radar content:
-Any dashboard available to a user must work
-All parts of a dashboard must work
-Dashboards must have a defined target audience
-Each user in that audience must have security/access for all components and reports
on dashboard
✔✔Define: Component Editor - ✔✔Accessed via Chart Search for Component Editor
- Six types of component records in Radar
1. Graph
2. Link
3. Message Board
4. Native HTML
5. Report Listing
6. Table
✔✔Additional Information: Component Editor - ✔✔Components have Five Forms
1. Basic Information
2. Display
3. Data Source
4. Output Format
5. Access
Similar to the Dashboard Editor, each form controls your component's content and its
metadata.
✔✔Define Activity Descriptor - ✔✔The Active activity descriptor field displays for your
currently active Hyperspace activity.
There are two Hyperspace workflows that can find the activity descriptor for a given
activity.
✔✔Hyperspace workflow 1: Find Activity Descriptor - ✔✔Activity: Create a component
which has a header that is able to take you to the Component Editor directly from your
Radar dashboard.
1. Access the about Hyperspace information window
2. Double-check that you are currently in the Component Editor activity
,3. Access the About Hyperspace window by navigating to the Epic button > Help >
About Hyperspace.
4. The Active activity descriptor field displays for your currently active Hyperspace
activity.
✔✔Hyperspace workflow 2: Find Activity Descriptor - ✔✔Activity Descriptor in the Menu
Summary:
End-users often request links to activities that you lack the security to access. Thus you
can not determine the activity descriptor from the About Hyperspace workflow. For
these instances, use the following workflow.
1. Use Chart Search to launch the Menu Summary activity.
2. Refer to pg. 2-22 for scenario.
3. Because Admin is under the Epic button, start by expanding EDMAINAPPMENU
4. Any menu that is displayed visually to the end-user will be listed under the caption.
5. Expand the Admin sub-menu
6. Expand the Access Management sub-menu

✔✔Perform Task: Configure a link component pt 1. - ✔✔Two Methods:
1. Linking from the component header
2. Listing multiple activities in a Link component
Jumping to a Hyperspace activity isn't like linking to a website, it requires a unique link
to identify a single Hyperspace activity.
Two work flows to find the activity descriptor for a given activity. (refer to previous cards,

to a table component). The degree and manner of component-level personalization
depends on the type of component.
1. A link component is a list of links to Hyperspace activities, reports or external URLs.
