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.
