Packaging the dashboard in app

Hi,

I'm trying to add my custom dashboard to an app so that I can have that dashboard installed on whoever uses the software on the app exchange.

Does anybody know how to add the dashboard to the package?

Thanks!

Hi Steven, 

You can go to your package, click add, choose dashboard from the picklist, and add the dashboard from there. 

However, consider the following: 
(http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/packagingGuide/Content/packaging_component_behavior.htm)
Developers of managed packages must consider the implications of introducing dashboard components that reference reports released in a previous version of the package. If the subscriber deleted the report or moved the report to a personal folder, the dashboard component referencing the report is dropped during install. Also, if the subscriber has modified the report, that report may return results impacting what information is displayed by the dashboard component. As a best practice, the developer should release a dashboard and the related reports in the same version.
