Note  To view a list of the available SWF files, you must copy the reports .swf files to the following location:
<HP_BA>/glassfish/glassfish/domains/BTOA/xcelsius directory.

To add a component to a page that is already formatted:

  1. In the Dashboard, select the relevant page (click the Page Gallery button if the page you want does not already appear in the Dashboard).
  2. Click the Components button.
  3. In the Component Gallery page that opens, click or double-click the component to place it in the layout area, or select the component and drag it to an area on the page.

    Note that double-click only works if you open the Component Gallery from the layout itself and not from the toolbar.

    • If the target area is hidden by the Component Gallery dialog box, click the Component Gallery dialog box title bar and drag it to another location on your screen.
    • If you are dragging a new component to a target area that already has a component defined, drag the new component to the title bar of the target area, and not to the part of the component that is colored white.
  4. Close the Component Gallery page. For user interface details, see Component Gallery and Component Categories.
