Descriptive text on Dashboards

Hello,

Is there a way to put text on a dashboard so I can group indicators? I'm looking to do something like:

<Indicator Text Description> <- Add this text

[Indicator 1] [Indicator 2] [Indicator 3 ] [Indicator 4]

<Indicator Text Description 2> <- Add this text

[Indicator 5]   [Indicator 6] [Indicator 7 ] [Indicator 8]

I don't see a "Text Widget" that would just let me insert a Text box.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, select the + on the dashboard to add content.   Choose Content block (instead of widget or report) from the drop down, search for "New Static HTML".

Sara,


        I assume you want something more than a tool tip??

If that is the is case, you could use the Static HTML Content Block to display your text with your indicators.....

Is this function only avail with full PA? When I add static HTML and try to edit it I get a white screen

Peter, 

You most likely do not have the correct role(s)......which are content_admin or admin.  

I was able to replicate the behavior with a user that did not have the required roles.
