Dabbling with the Dashboards

When an Office Live user accesses a Workspace, he lands in the Dashboard area of the Workspace. Each Workspace has its own Dashboard. The Dashboard provides a snapshot of the various pages within the Workspace. You might think of the Dashboard as the Workspace’s home page.

You can add additional sections to the Dashboard to include more information. If (for example) you added a new Special Announcements page to your Workspace, you can in turn add a Special Announcements section to the Dashboard.

In addition to adding recaps of your Workspace pages to the Dashboard, Office Live includes a couple of special sections called Web Parts. You can add a What’s New Web Part to highlight all the latest and greatest changes that users have made, no matter what page they changed.

Follow these steps to add a Web Part:

  1. Click Workspaces on the Navigation bar.
  2. Click the Workspace whose Dashboard you’d like to customize.
  3. Choose Customize Dashboard from the Common Tasks drop-down menu.
  4. Click Add a Web Part on the section of the Dashboard where you want a Web Part to appear.
  5. Place a check mark next to the items you want to add, and then click the Add button.
  6. (Optional) To remove an item, click the X next to the item.
  7. Click Exit Edit Mode when you’ve finished customizing the Dashboard.
