How to access Dashboard context menu

[Tam_s Ujj1]

Hi,

I would like to check the logic for the "Delete Dashboard" context menu one can find in the hamburger menu on a dashboard. 

Any idea where can I find it? I could not even find the other context menus in my PDI. At this point I am not sure if it is a context menu at all.

Thanks.

Hi @Tam_s Ujj1 ,

I do not quite understand what you can't find? The context menu containing the delete dashboard as shown below or something else?:

In relation to the logic when selecting "delete dashboard", then only the dashboard (container) will be deleted from the pa_dashboards list. All reports, widgets etc. will not be deleted and still be usable for other dashboards etc. 

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.

Best regards

Anders

I can access the menu (hence I can delete the dashboards) as on your screenshot, I would like to check the logic behind it, what is it deleting from which tables. It not only deletes the dashboards but also deletes the pages and the link between the reports and the dashboards, so it deletes entries from many tables. Report and widgets as you mention are not deleted.

If one deletes the dashboard via a script from the pa_dashboards table it will only delete the dashboard and the link between the dashboard and the tabs, all other links are retained and "polluting" the other tables. The logic in the context menu is more comlex and I would like to check it but cannot find what is being called when one click on the "Delete Dashboard" context menu.

Thanks
