Dashboard

You can use Dashboards to create an environment for adding visualizations of charts within services.

Steps:

1. In the Pulse UI, go to Admin UI > Dashplots Studio.

2. On the Dashplots > Dashboards page, you can:

   • View the list of existing dashboards.
   • Create a new dashboard.
   • Import a dashboard.
   • Export a dashboard.

3. Select a dashboard to view its visualizations and available options.

Creating a Dashboard

To create a dashboard, do the following.

1. Click the Create button. A Create Dashboard slide-on window appears.

2. Assign a value to the following labels.

   • Name: Name of the dashboard you are creating.
   • Type: Choose Dashboard, ListView, or Workbook from the dropdown menu.
   • Tags: Tags related to your dashboard. You can enter multiple tags. Type the name of a tag and press the enter key. You can then add another tag using the same procedure.
   • Message: Description of your dashboard.

3. Click the Create button.

A new dashboard is created.

Importing Dashboards

You can import a dashboard to the existing list of dashboards. To import a dashboard file, do the following.

Note Pulse Dashplots v3.0 and later do not allow JSON file import or export. Dashboard export and import are both available in.zip format.

1. In the Dashboards tab, select the Import button.
2. In the Import Directory page:
   1. Select Overwrite Dashboard if already present, if you want to overwrite the dashboard if it exists with the same name.
   2. Select Import from old UI (<4.0.0) if you are importing dashboards from versions lower than 4.0.0.
   3. Click the Browse button and select a .ZIP file from the list.
   4. Once uploaded, click Import Directory.

The dashboard .ZIP file is now imported.

Exporting Dashboards

You can export one or multiple dashboards to your system. The file downloaded is in .ZIP format. To export dashboards, do the following.

1. In Dashboards tab, click the Export Dashboards button.
2. In the Export Dashboards window, click the checkbox against the dashboards you want to export from the list.
3. Click Export Dashboards button.

A single file with selected dashboards is downloaded to your system in a .ZIP format.

Note Exporting more than one dashboard at the same time is not supported.

Deleting Dashboards

To delete a dashboard from the list, do the following.

1. Click the icon at the right end of the dashboard entry. The icon is only visible while hovering over the dashboard row.
2. In the Confirm window, click Delete to confirm deletion of the dashboard.

The dashboard is now deleted.

Important

If you do not want to delete the visualizations of a Dashboard, you must not select the Deep Delete check box. This ensures that only the Dashboard is deleted and the visualizations added to the Dashboard are retained on the Visualizations tab.

2. On the Dashplots > Dashboards tab, select any dashboard.
