One of the most powerful features of Periscope is that views are context sensitive. That means that one view can be reused across different contexts (such as sites) which can save configuration time as well as help tell a story about how the data changes. In this document I'll walk you through setting up a context sensitive dashboard (View) that can be reused across all sites.

button in the bottom left of Periscope. The "Select View" dialog will appear, choose the "Dashboard" view and click OK. The next dialog that appears allows us to configure our view.

Step 2: Creating context sensitive viewlets
Now that we have a dashboard that is being reused across all of our sites we need to setup viewlets that are context sensitive. As we change from one site to another we want our viewlets to change as well. To do this:
