Summary

The article provides a work around for a limitation in ALM's Dashboard page.

Question

For all currently available versions of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): QC10, ALM 11.XX, ALM 12.XX , in Dashboard View , each Dashboard page is limited to only four graphs.

When the limit is reached if an user tries to add another graph a message appears:

The page can contain up to 4 graphs. To add a graph, you must remove an

existing graph.

Answer

The limitation can be overcome by adding a new parameter in Site Administration - Site Configuration

Parameter Name: DASHBOARD_PAGE_ITEM_LIMIT

Parameter Value: <Maximum number of possible graphs per page>

Description and possible values for the parameter:

DASHBOARD_PAGE_ITEM_LIMIT

Description:

This parameter specifies the limitation of number of items per dash board page. This parameter is used when other limit than the default is needed.

DefaultValue 4

MinValue 1

MaxValue 9223372036854775807

Note: this limit is set by default because of performance considerations - incising the maximum number of graphs per Dashboard page can deteriorate server's performance. Use with caution and in case of performance problem decrease the limit.
