Adding a banner to a dashboard
When designing the dashboard the editors may select a banner to be uploaded to the dashboard. Once banner is uploaded it will appear when viewing the dashboard. When a user (a viewer) views the dashboard, if there is an existing banner the banner is displayed. The viewer can personalize the banner in the dashboard if required. Each personalized dashboard that includes a banner can only be accessed by the user who added that specific personalization.
