You can add viewlets to a dashboard from a remote repository on any Jazz™ server that has been associated with the dashboard's host server. These associated servers are designated as "friendly" servers. The associated friendly server must be based on Jazz Foundation version 1.0.0.1 or greater. If the other server is based on an older version of Jazz Team Server, the dashboard displays a message stating that the server is not compatible and that you should consider upgrading.
If there are no friends configured for the Jazz server on which the dashboard is hosted, the repository on the current server is used as the only source for viewlets and no drop-down server menu is displayed in the viewlet chooser.
Viewlets that are added from friendly servers can be configured, but they can only access information, such as queries and builds, on the remote server from which they were added. They cannot be configured to access information on the current server or on a different friendly server.
When accessing a dashboard that contains one or more viewlets from a repository on a friendly Jazz server, you must be logged in to the friendly server in order to see the content of the viewlet(s). If you are not logged in, each viewlet from the remote repository displays a Log In link, which you can use to log in to that server. Once you are logged in, the contents of all viewlets in that remote repository are refreshed and displayed.
