Can someone please provide instructions on how to install the solution on a shared web server? HostGator, 1and1, etc… I am a newbie to Drupal and looking for help/directions. Thank you in advance !!

Unfortunately, we do not have enough experience working with any particular shared hosting environment. However, we expect the code to work similar to core Drupal in this regard.
If you are willing to try and follow our instructions and possibly refer to the Drupal instructions on shared hosting (http://drupal.org/node/1068894), we can work together to resolve any issues that you may encounter.

I have installed the IT Dashboard views_fusioncharts module and am able to use if along with the data module on a shared server to create charts and am using normal Views for the tables. Here are the steps I followed once I had Drupal up and running:
Once you understand Views you should be able to find your way around. I use the Data module http://drupal.org/project/data to bring in data external to Drupal but in the same database.

I have installed the IT Dashboard views_fusioncharts module and am able to use if along with the data module on a shared server to create charts and am using normal Views for the tables. Here are the steps I followed once I had Drupal up and running:
1. Install libraries module, http://drupal.org/project/libraries (make sure to read installation instructions)
2. Download Fusioncharts and place in libraries folder, I just downloaded from the IT Dashboard site: http://it-dashboard.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/it-dashboard/trunk/webapp/sites/all/libraries/fusioncharts/
3. Download views_fusioncharts module from IT Dashboard site and install as a normal module: http://it-dashboard.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/it-dashboard/trunk/webapp/sites/all/modules/dashboard_platform/views_fusioncharts/
Once you understand Views you should be able to find your way around. I use the Data module http://drupal.org/project/data to bring in data external to Drupal but in the same database.
