    Duplicate Dashboard

    Sometimes the easiest way to create a new dashboard is to copy an existing one that's close to what you want.

    2. ePO - SaaS names the duplicate by appending "(copy)" to the existing name. If you want to modify this name, do so now and click Save.

    The duplicate is an exact copy of the original dashboard including all permissions. Only the name is changed.

    Delete Dashboard

    1. Click ActionsDelete Dashboard.

    2. Click OK to delete the dashboard.

    The dashboard is deleted and you see the system default dashboard. Users who had this dashboard as their last viewed dashboard see the system default dashboard when they log on.

    To create a different view on your environment, create a new dashboard.

    1. Click ActionsCreate New Dashboard.

    2. Type a name, select a dashboard visibility option, and click Next.

    3. Select one or more widgets to add to the dashboard and click Save.

    The new dashboard is displayed. You can add more widgets to the dashboard as needed.

    Edit Dashboard

    Dashboards are only visible to users with proper permission. Dashboards are assigned permissions identically to queries or reports. They can either be entirely private, entirely public, or shared with one or more permission sets.

    1. Select a dashboard, then click ActionsEdit Dashboard.

    2. Enter a new name for the dashboard

    3. Select a permission:

      • Private — Do not share this dashboard

      • Public — Share this dashboard with everyone

        Note

        Users with Dashboards permissions can edit or delete public dashboards. If dashboards are used by multiple users, it might affect the user experience.

    4. Click Save to change the dashboard.

    It is possible to create a dashboard with more expansive permissions than one with more queries contained on the dashboard. If you do this, users that have access to the underlying data can see the query when opening the dashboard. Users that do not have access to the underlying data receive a message saying they do not have permission to use that query. If the query is private to the dashboard creator, only the dashboard creator can modify the query or remove it from the dashboard.
