Configure Platform Analytics dashboard settings

You can set refresh interval details and background colors, enable data caching to speed page refreshes, and choose which Insights cards to show.

Avant de commencer

Role required: dashboard_admin for all dashboards, or any role for dashboards that you own or ones that you have been given the right to edit. See Platform Analytics dashboard roles for more information about viewing and editing rights on dashboards. Additionally, dashboard_admin is required to schedule automated refreshes even of dashboards that you own.

Procédure

1. Navigate to All > Platform Analytics > Library > Dashboards.
2. In the Dashboards library, choose the dashboard you want to configure.
3. Select Edit to enter editing mode.
4. Select the settings button () to open the Settings panel.
   
   
   
5. Change any of the following settings.
   • Edit the Refresh options.
     Users with the dashboard_admin role or higher can configure automatic refreshes of the dashboard.

     • Select Show refresh information to display the last time the dashboard was refreshed under the dashboard title. This information updates when the dashboard is automatically refreshed and when a user selects the refresh button ().
     • Select Scheduled repetition to specify in minutes or hours how often the dashboard is reloaded. Applies only while the dashboard is open. Requires the dashboard_admin or higher.
       Remarque :

       Do not confuse this setting with the Refresh after being away for X minutes option on data visualizations. This latter option takes effect when you navigate away from a dashboard containing the data visualization to another page in the same workspace or experience. If you navigate back to the dashboard after the specified number of minutes, the data visualization automatically refreshes.

     • Select Enable data cache to shorten the load time on page refreshes for data visualizations based on table or indicator data. Data caching also applies to indicator scorecards. The dashboard uses the cached data instead of querying the database when the page is refreshed.
       Remarque :

       • Enabling Scheduled repetition disables data caching and vice versa.
       • Enabling Real time update or Refresh after being away for X min on a data visualization overrides caching for that visualization. If this option is subsequently disabled, the currently cached value is shown, if it hasn't expired.

       Data caches have an expiration time. When the page is refreshed and the cached data has expired, fresh data is queried and cached. When data caching is enabled, you can set the length of time for cached data to be valid in Cached expiration time. Options are 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, or 24 hours.

       You can manually refresh the cached data for either the whole dashboard or a data visualization by refreshing either the dashboard or the visualization, respectively.

   • In the Presentation section, edit the background color of one or more tabs on the dashboard.

     Select a color from a list of preconfigured colors, or use the color palette to specify a color.

   • Choose whether and which analytics to show in the Insights section.

     When you select Show insights panel, an Insights button is added to the dashboard. When a viewer presses this button, insights cards corresponding to the selected analytics options are shown. For more information, see Proactive analytics insights on dashboards.
