Creation of a dashboard

[Sarayucog]

Hi all,

I am new to creation of dashboards. When I am expanding the tree in the content pane I can able to see the reports and report objects.

My question is what we will use the to create the dashboards, means is it enough to dragging and droping the whole report to the Canvas area or can we drag and drop report objects like List, Cross tan and charts into the Canvas area.

Why I am asking the above questionis when I was tried to drag and drop individual report objects in to the canvas area its asking the credentials. If I am providing the credentials also its keep on asking the credentials.

Some times its not asking the credentials so I am trying to drag and drop the credentials, but its not displaying any image on the canvas. Just its displaying and cross mark at the left corner.

Please clarify my dought.

Thanks in advance
