Saving dashboards

You are prompted to save a dashboard if:

  • You leave a dashboard which has not been saved.
  • You leave a dashboard which has unsaved changes.

You are also prompted if you click Save, and another user has saved changes to the dashboard during the time in which you have had the dashboard open.

See: Concurrent saving and editing.

To save a dashboard:

  1. To save changes to a dashboard, click Save on the toolbar.
  2. To save, when prompted, click Yes.
    If the dashboard is unsaved, the Save Dashboard dialog is displayed. Unsaved changes are saved.

    Or, to overwrite an existing dashboard, click the dashboard to overwrite. The same name, without spaces or special characters, is suggested as the unique name. You can specify a different unique name.
  4. Optionally, specify a description of the dashboard.
    Dashboard descriptions are displayed in Dashboard Properties.
