Dashboard Library

Introduction

The Dashboard Library is the main place in the application where you can browse, preview, and manage dashboards.
Each dashboard is made up of one or more boardlets — reusable interface blocks that are created and configured using the App Composer.

The Dashboard Library only shows dashboards for the current app context.

This view is divided into three main sections:

• List of Dashboards – Displays all dashboards of the current app context.
• Dashboard Preview – Shows a read-only preview of the selected dashboard.
• Basic Details – Displays basic details of the selected dashboard .

With the Dashboard Library, you can:

• Search and organize dashboards
• Create, edit, duplicate, delete dashboards
• Export and import dashboards between contexts
• View dashboards in a structured way

List of Dashboards

The left panel contains a list for all dashboards within the application context.

At any time, one dashboard is selected (unless no dashboards exist in the current app context). When the page is opened, the first dashbord in alphabetical order is selected by default.

This section supports the actions described below.

Search

The Search by name… field filters the list by boardlet title. Capitalization is ignored.

Dashboard Cards

Each boardlet is displayed as a card showing its title. Clicking on a card selects the dashboard, displays its preview in the center, and shows its details on the right panel
The More menu on each card provides the following actions:

• Edit composition - Opens the dashboard in the dashboard editor to modify layout and boardlets.

When an item is currently being edited by another user, a progress icon is shown on the card. Hovering over the icon displays a tooltip with the editor’s name.

Dashboard Preview

The preview space displays a static, non-interactive preview of the selected dashboard. The layout and boardlets are shown as they would be rendered, without editing or interaction. This helps you understand the structure and content of the dashboard without opening the editor.
