Technical dashboards
If you need more advanced or customized features in a dashboard than you can get through the inline editor, you can create a UI Builder page that is exposed as a dashboard. Such pages are called technical dashboards.
Technical dashboard overview
You create a technical dashboard in the dashboard editor. However, you cannot edit the dashboard contents in the inline editor. Instead of an Edit button, you have an Open in UI Builder button. In UI Builder, you can populate the dashboard will the full range of UI Builder containers and components. You have some additional options, such as being able to use manual data sources or local data broker instances. You also are required to configure more technical details yourself, such as event handlers for filters and drilling down in data visualizations.
Only someone with the ui_builder_admin role can create a technical dashboard, edit its contents, or configure its UI Builder page options.
You can open a technical dashboard in the dashboard editor from the dashboard library, as you would for any dashboard. In the editor, you can share the dashboard, create a printable version, or edit its dashboard details. You can also expose technical dashboards in multiple workspaces as described in Add a dashboard to a Dashboards page.
Technical dashboards are kept in a dedicated UI Experience named Advanced Dashboards. However, it is better to open technical dashboards in the dashboard editor and use the Open in UI Builder button than to open them directly in UI Builder through the Advanced Dashboards experience.
Do not try to create a technical dashboard directly in the Advanced Dashboards experience. The UI Builder page you create will not appear in the dashboards library and will be missing other preconfigurations.
