Abstract
A dashboard application can enable a user to quickly view data (and, in a particular aspect, data from one or more business applications) in an efficient manner. The dashboard application can be used to view data about one or more metrics that reflect the performance of a business, as derived from data maintained (perhaps in an associated data store) by the business application(s). In an aspect, the dashboard application can be configured with an interface to allow a user to select an action to be performed outside the dashboard application and/or can be configured to initiate such an action.
