Use The Library For Dashboards

The work area of the library contains all dashboards in your environment to which you have access. You can make a dashboard a favorite, delete it (if your privileges allow), and open the dashboard.

If your user definition has not been given access to dashboards, you will see no dashboards in the library and you will not be able to import any dashboards. You will be able to create dashboards, but you will not be able to save them. Contact your system administrator to increase your privileges.

Access the Dashboard Library

To access the library, select Library on the UI menu ( ) or the top-level navigation menu, or select Dashboards on the Home page. The dashboard library appears. The dashboards display in a table (list) format.

Search Field

You can use the search field to filter the dashboards in this work area by dashboard Name, Description (if provided), Data Source, or Author. For example, if you type a C in the search box, only dashboards that include the letter C in the selected field searched are shown in the working area. See Search and Filter Lists.
