Dashboards that power reports

[WanLohnston]

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,

Ahh my mistake, which makes what I was reading in the documentation make much more sense thank you! I'll also accept this as the solution, apologies for my ignorance!

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.
