Creating a Resource Tree Navigator Lens

The Resource Tree Navigator lens displays data in a tree format with points that you can click to open successive child data points. Follow the steps below to create a lens.

By default, the only user who has permission to create a Resource Tree Navigator lens is the sysadmin user. However, the sysadmin user can share created lenses with other users and groups (see Sharing Access to Dashboards and Lenses).
