Importing a dashboard

Import a dashboard configuration from a JSON file to create or update a summary dashboard.

About this task

You can export another summary dashboard configuration as a JSON file and then use that file as a starting point to configure your summary dashboard.

Tip: The configuration settings that are included with an imported dashboard JSON file might not work as expected if you import the JSON into a different device type from the one for which it was created.

You can overwrite a dashboard by importing a new JSON file.

Note: In the JSON configuration, you can configure all features of the summary dashboard, apart from the taxonomy hierarchy. The taxonomy appears under Summary Controls on the dashboard.

For information about the configuration options for dashboards, see Dashboard features.
