Dashboard management

The Dashboard Options tray can be accessed from the main Monitor > Dashboards view and provides access to dashboard and gadget management functions as well as user/user group access controls.

Deleting dashboards

To delete an existing dashboard, select All Dashboards in the tray, and then click the corresponding delete icon in the secondary tray.

A dashboard can also be deleted from the dashboard configuration tray by expanding the Options section and then selecting Remove This Dashboard.

Users that do not have the Dashboard Admin permission cannot delete dashboards created by other users. Dashboards that are set as default or read-only cannot be deleted.

Copying dashboards

The Copy This Dashboard option saves a copy of the current dashboard under a specified name. This function can be used to make modifications to an existing dashboard configuration while retaining the dashboard’s current state.

This option can also be accessed from dashboard edit/settings tray.

Deleting gadgets

To delete an existing gadget, select All Gadgets, and then click the corresponding delete icon in the secondary tray.

To find specific gadgets more quickly, use the dropdown to display gadgets by category.

Managing user and user group access

Users with the Dashboard Admin permission can manage access to dashboards by user or by user group from the Dashboard Options tray.

To grant a user or user group access to one or more existing dashboards:

  1. Click User Dashboards/User Group Dashboards.

  2. In the secondary tray, select the user/user group from the dropdown.

  3. Use the checkboxes to select all dashboards the user/user group should be granted access to.

  4. Click the Save button to save any changes made.

Once granted access to a dashboard, a user/user group member will be able to view and copy a dashboard. However, they cannot edit or delete dashboards created by other users.

Note

  • To fully access a dashboard, a user must also be granted access to the dashboard’s gadgets through their user group.

  • A user can only manage dashboard access for other members of their user group(s). Additionally, they are only able to grant access to dashboards that have been created by members of their user group(s).
