Configuring dashboards

Configure your dashboard and perform admin tasks. Most tasks are performed in either the dashboard details or the dashboard settings UI.

Common configuration tasks

The following tasks do not require a special role, though they may be limited to the dashboard owner or a user with editing rights.

• Change dashboard name or description

  Provide an informative description of your dashboard for other users.

• Specify dashboard requester

  Specify the user who requested that this dashboard be created. Specifying the user automatically gives them editing rights to the dashboard.

• Transfer ownership of a dashboard

  By default, the creator of the dashboard is the dashboard owner. If you are the owner of a dashboard, you can transfer this ownership to another user or to a user group.

• Set background colors

  Select the background colors for one or more tabs on the dashboard.

• See who created a dashboard
• See who the dashboard is shared with

Admin configuration tasks

The following tasks require at least the dashboard_admin if not the admin role.
