Dashboard Grouping
Dashboard grouping allows users to group related dashboards thereby allowing a parent dashboard to be linked to several child dashboards. These dashboards will display as a series of tabs as and when you add them. When you click on the added dashboards, it will take you straight to the dashboard. Also, allows you to navigate between these dashboards.
To enable this feature, check the Dashboard Grouping option under Dashboard Settings > Display options > Save Changes. Once the setting is enabled, click the + icon to add a dashboard that you have access to. You can also use the search bar to search for a dashboard. To remove a dashboard, click the expand menu on the dashboard, and click Remove.
Note:
- The grouping/navigation is visible only on the parent dashboard. For it to be visible on the child dashboards, you would need to enable the Dashboard Grouping option.
- When shared, the users can see only the dashboards they have access to.
