Wizard Templates
You can design wizard templates that help users create instances of a custom dashboard object—a dashboard, data source, indicator, KPI (key performance indicator), report, filter, or scorecard. By using your template, PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer users can create the object, set properties for it, and add it to the workspace.
Wizard templates consist of one or more wizard pages. You can create wizard pages by adding Windows Forms panels that inherit from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. Then, you can edit them in the Microsoft Visual Studio forms designer.
To create a custom dashboard object in Dashboard Designer, you must implement a template class factory. To add custom properties to the object that your template creates, you can also implement the FiniteProgressPage class.
