You can import dashboards from other users for use, or you can import dashboards from
another Catalog on your system. If Spaces are enabled in a Catalog, you
can also import dashboards from a Space.
Dashboards can be imported from .json files that contain one or more
exported dashboard definitions.
Note: JSON files that contain a combination of exported visualizations and
dashboards can also be imported as described in the following steps.
Before you begin
To import dashboards, you must either be the owner of the API provider
organization, or be assigned a role that has the permission for the selected Catalog or Space. If you import a dashboard
into a Catalog, the analytics data is scoped at the Catalog level, and if imported into a Space, the data is scoped to that
Space. For information about
enabling Spaces in a new or
existing Catalog, see Creating and configuring Catalogs and Enabling Spaces in a Catalog. For more information about assigning Catalog or Space permissions to a role, see
Managing Catalog membership and Managing Space membership.
