You can specify the dashboard loading folder by editing the config.xml file.

To include the path of the dashboard, go to <Webserver_directory>/config and edit the config file. Below is a code snippet of how to include the dashboard location:

 <dashboards>
<dashboard name="Dashboard_A2" path="/home/gelo/etc/support_dashboard.adb"/>
<dashboard name="Dashboard_B1" path="/home/gelo/etc/test.adb"/>
<dashboard name="Dashboard_B2" path="Dashboard_B2.adb"/>
<dashboard name="Dashboard_A1" path="Dashboard_A1.adb">
<!-- Optional (Default: Inherits from </dashboardDefaults>)-->
<!-- time & rate should be in seconds -->
<!-- <tileSize>
<width>100</width>
<height>100</height>
</tileSize> -->
<!-- Optional (Default: Inherits from </dashboardDefaults>)-->
<!-- <tileCacheSize>2</tileCacheSize> -->
</dashboard>
</dashboards>
