Elements from this section can be dropped into the bigger main dashboard pane to create new content. New content can be of one of the following types:* '''Chart''': this element allows to add a new chart (ad-hoc view) i.e. one that is not yet in the system and thus not available in the '''Existing Content''' pane. When dropping the new chart element to the main dashboard pane, the ad-hoc view designer overlays the dashboard designer - i.e. data has to be chosen, and a chart has to be defined, as described in [[Creating Ad Hoc Views in MINT]]. The resulting chart is then saved to the dashboard as a so-called '''dashlet'''. This means that the element is then only available in the context of that dashboard, but cannot be reused in others, and cannot be executed separately. It is therefore recommended to use this method only for very specific charts that shall only be used in one single dashboard. Normally, the preferred way is to [[Creating Ad Hoc Views in MINT|create and ad-hoc view]] and save it in the repository so that it can be accessed directly and used in one or several reports and dashboards.* '''Crosstab''': same as above, except that the created dashlet is a crosstab rather than a chart.* '''Table''': same as above, except that the created dashlet is a table rather than a chart.* '''Text''':* '''Webpage''':
