Sharing and copying dashboards
Although dashboards are private by default, you can share dashboards with other users. If you share a dashboard with other users and then delete it, you delete it for them, too. Anyone can view a shared dashboard, but only you can edit or delete a dashboard that you created.
- You can share a dashboard from the Dashboards page.
- You can access a shared dashboard from the Shared Dashboards tab on the Dashboards page.
When you find or create a dashboard that you like, copying it is the easiest way to create a similar one that you can modify for another purpose. Because owners of shared dashboards can delete them, copying a dashboard enables you to control it yourself. New dashboards created by copying another are automatically named Copy of <sourceDashboardName>. You can copy a dashboard from the Dashboards page or from the dashboard. After copying a dashboard, you can edit it to modify its name and other properties. This topic provides the following procedures:
Note
If an administrator removes a user from the system who owns shared dashboards, those dashboards are also deleted from the system.
To share a dashboard
Click My Dashboards.
- Locate the dashboard to share, and click the Shared toggle.
Note
Only those dashboards shared by others with you are listed under the Shard Dashboards tab 
and not the dashboards shared by you with others.
