Editing a dashboard

To edit an existing dashboard:

  1. Select the dashboard in the list pane.

  2. In the dashboard header bar, click the pencil icon.

    • To change one of the existing components into a different component, hover the mouse pointer over the component, click the Visualizations icon icon, and select a different visualization below the icon.

    • To change the data input for an existing component, drag the data from the Data pane to the component. For more information, see Adding data to a component.

    • To duplicate one of the existing components, hover the mouse pointer over the component and click the Duplicate component icon icon.

    • To remove one of the existing components, hover the mouse pointer over the component and click the red recycle bin icon.

    • To move a component, drag and drop it to a different position on the dashboard.

      In case the component contains interactive areas, you can first hover the mouse pointer over the component and then use the Drag-and-drop icon icon below it to drag and drop the component without clicking it directly.

    • To resize a component, move the mouse pointer to the edge of the component and drag it until the component has the desired size.

    • To view or hide the grid lines of the dashboard while in edit mode, click the Show grid or Hide grid button in the dashboard header bar. These grid lines show the columns and rows that the components are arranged on.

    • To add a new component, see Configuring components.

    • To change the overall layout of the dashboard, see Configuring the dashboard layout.

  3. When ready, click Stop editing in the header bar.

Note
  • Prior to DataMiner 10.3.5/10.4.0, it is not possible to edit a dashboard that is being shared. To edit such a dashboard in those DataMiner versions, you will need to temporarily stop sharing it and then share it again once you are done editing.
  • To rename a dashboard, right-click the dashboard in the sidebar on the left and select Settings or Rename, depending on your DataMiner version. This is not possible for a dashboard that is being shared.
