We can develop a dashboard having two tabs using SAP Business Objects Xcelsius application. In each of the tab we can include multiple components that display the data in different ways. We can use this concept when the number of components to be included in the dashboard is more than what a single page can accommodate OR whenever we need to display different functionalities using a single dashboard.
For example, we developed a dashboard for a client involved in travel industry. In this Industry a BDM (Business development Manager) or HOL (Home office location) has multiple IATA’s (IATA is a number assigned by Air Transport Association to travel agencies who issue air tickets...) under it.
So the dashboard displays the performance of the individual IATAs as well as overall performance of the BDM or HOL using two tabs as follows:
1) IATA performance: This tab shows the individual performance of the selected IATA under a given BDM or HOL.
2) My IATAs: This tab shows the total performance of the selected BDM or HOL, where BDM or HOL is a collection of IATAs.
