Creating Standard Reports in Dashboard

How to:

You can enable administrators and developers to create Standard Reports in Dashboard with any of the available reporting tools. Additionally, they can create new folders under Standard Reports and set properties at the Standard Report level. However, new domains can only be created in the Managed Reporting Administration interface. The creation of Standard Reports by administrators and developers can be enabled for all views by editing a variable setting in the bid-config.xml file or enabled for specific views using the Dashboard View Builder.
