Managing Your Dashboard

This article describes how to edit a Dashboard, including on how to assign and arrange Widgets for that Dashboard.

Editing Your Dashboard¶

Go to the main Dashboards page, which can be found in the top menu via "Dashboard" -> "Dashboards". Once loaded, you'll notice a grid in the first tab that holds (most likely) one dashboard, the "Default" dashboard. Right-click the row, and click "Update Dashboard". This will load the editing page for the Dashboard.

You will see a name and description field, and below, a grid of Widgets assigned to the dashboard. You can drag the widgets around to rearrange them, add widgets by clicking the "Place Widget" button, or remove widgets by right-clicking on a widget:

Template vs Personal Changes¶

Changes made on this page update the dashboard template. For customizable dashboards, template changes are propagated to all users who have a personal copy of that dashboard:

• When you add a widget here, it will appear on the dashboard for all existing users of that dashboard.
• When you remove a widget here, it will be removed from all users' personal dashboards.

This is different from changes made directly on the dashboard page itself (for example, using the close button on a widget or adding a widget from the dashboard view). Those changes only affect the currently logged-in user.

If you want to enforce a widget change across all users, make it from this management page. If you only want to adjust your own dashboard, make the change directly on the dashboard page instead.
