Module 8: Configuring Intelligence Dashboards

This document discusses different types of content that can be added to intelligence dashboards, including included content (links and images) and embedded content (analytics requests, HTML objects, folders). Included content takes the user to external content by clicking, while embedded content displays within a dashboard frame. The module teaches how to construct dashboards using both included and embedded content, and identifies cases where embedded content may not be appropriate, such as with websites that disallow framing.
