Save a dashboard with a different name

Once you have created a dashboard you like, you can make modifications and save the dashboard with a different name.

To save a dashboard with a different name

  1. Select and run a saved dashboard.
  2. Click the Actions menu and select Save As.
  3. Change the details on the Save As pop-up as required based on the descriptions below:
    • Save the dashboard as: Assign a new name to the dashboard if required. The maximum number of characters is 80.

    • Short Description: Add or edit the description that can help in searching the dashboard. The description can help to determine the intent of dashboard. This description is limited to 512 characters and is optional.

    • Long Description: Add or update any additional details that you wish to specify regarding the dashboard. The details may included vendor-specific names or acronyms that may help in searching the dashboard. This description is optional.

    • Select a folder in: /home/My Reports: Dashboards are saved folders created inside /home/My Reports. Select a folder from the list if required.

    • Inventory Object Type: The inventory objects associated with the reports added on the dashboard are selected by default. You can edit the selection to override the default settings.

    • Subsystems: Specify one or more subsystems from which you want to view data on the dashboard. By default, the appropriate subsystem is selected.

    • Inventory Defaults: Click to reset the default Inventory settings. This resets the default values under Inventory Object Type and Subsystems fields.

    • Report Category: Change the report category from the list if required. This field is mandatory.

    • New Folder: Click to add a new folder under /home/My Reports and save the dashboard in it.

    Note:

    Reports on dashboards are treated as stand-alone instances and are not linked to the original report. For example, when a name or scope change is made in the original report, those changes are not reflected in the dashboard version.
