Reporting

Dashboards that power reports

Hi all, 

I was wondering if anyone could help with hopefully a simple question. I have a dashboard that is used to power a report that sends a pdf to a number of individuals via email but we're looking to extract some further data and I was wondering if I just simply edit the existing dashboard with a few more searches will that reflect in the report? 

 

Cheers,

To be pedantic, reports power dashboards rather than the other way around.  What you call a "report" is merely scheduled emailing of a dashboard.

Yes, you can modify the dashboard and those edits should be reflected in the email.
