Manage Dashboard

This page provides an overview of the tools and operations available for managing dashboards, including creating, editing, and deleting them.

Managing Options for a Dashboard

Use Manage to open, share, version, move, publish, preview, rename, export, or delete dashboards that are saved in a workspace.

Permissions & prerequisites:

  • You must have the right to view/manage dashboards in the chosen workspace.

  • Push/Pull to VCS requires a configured Git integration and appropriate credentials.

  • Publish to Portal availability depends on your organization’s Portal configuration and your role.

  • Share Dashboard requires permission to grant access to users/groups.

  • Users will see a list of dashboards that is automatically filtered to show only those available within the currently selected Workspace.

Notes

Preview

Opens the dashboard in preview mode.

Validate data bindings, filters, and layout before publishing.

Export to Local Disk

Exports the dashboard file to your computer (e.g., .bvzx).

Use for backups, migration, or sharing outside the platform.

Rename

Changes the dashboard’s display name.

Keep names consistent (e.g., Sales_APAC_Q1_2025).

Delete

Removes the dashboard from the workspace.

Typically moved to Trash; can be permanently removed from Trash.

Move To

Moves the dashboard to another workspace.

Useful for handoffs (e.g., from Dev → UAT → Prod).

Notes & tips:

  • Delete removes the dashboard irreversibly, so use it mindfully to remove your dashboards.

  • Prefer group-based sharing over individual users for scalable access control.

  • Use Preview before publishing to catch layout or data issues early.

  • For parallel work, consider Save As to branch a copy in another workspace (e.g., Dev/UAT/Prod).

  • Coordinate with collaborators or use User Alert Notification guidance to avoid overwrites when multiple users edit the same dashboard.
