of a variety of graphic types representing various segment,
entity, and object information. Dashboard allows you to
name and save CPU, Disk, ProcessBusy, Query, and TMF,
and related graphics. You can name, save, and redisplay
dashboards whenever you want to graphically review
particular areas of your system. As you define more
dashboards, this cascading menu grows dynamically,
retaining each of your named dashboards.You can create
and add new graphs to the dashboard in a variety of ways.

menu.Step 3: Double-click the Segment Name column
heading in the grid area of the Browse window to create
