Managing dashboards

In Pivot, you can edit and manage your dashboards.

Editing dashboards

To edit a dashboard, click the Edit icon in the dashboard header. When the dashboard is in edit mode, you can add, rearrange, delete, and rename the views.

You can also change the settings for the dashboard while in edit mode. For example, you can adjust the color theme of the dashboard or modify sharing permissions.

To display the Dashboard options, click Options in the header bar.

Exporting and importing dashboards

Pivot lets you import and export dashboards as JSON objects.

To export a dashboard, open the Dashboard options. From the General tab, click Export. The dashboard downloads to your designated downloads directory.

Importing dashboards requires the ConfigureLookAndFeel privilege. To import a dashboard, navigate to Settings > Advanced. Click Import dashboard to open a dialog box where you can paste the JSON object representing the dashboard to import.

Filter your dashboard

You can add a filter to an interactive collection by clicking on the + button in the filter bar.

You can also click on visualizations and have that filter applied to all other views (as long as they share the filtered dimension).

Dashboard pages

Pages let you group multiple dashboard views into a single dashboard, so that any user can easily switch between them:

To create a page, go to Edit > Options > General > Pages and select "Show page selector." Click Save. Then edit the dashboard again, and click New page.

Access control

You can define access permissions for each dashboard. The access settings are in the Access tab of the Options panel. See Access Control for more information.

Additional options

Each tile menu contains additional settings. You can change the tile's visualization type in the Content field, specify the Data cube it comes from, add a Filter, and more. For example, under Visualization options, you can remove axes labels in some types of visualizations by unchecking Show axes if possible.
