Data source limitations for dashboard imports

You can only select one data source for the imported dashboard.

• If the exported dashboard used multiple data sources of the same data source type, all the charts and controls on the imported dashboard will only use the data source you select when you import it.

• You can’t import a dashboard that used multiple data sources of different data source types.

• If the exported dashboard uses a single third-party data source, the schema names must be exactly the same between the data sources of the exported and imported dashboard.

To copy a dashboard:

1. Open the dashboard you wish to copy

2. Select Copy dashboard ().

3. Optional: Change the dashboard title, description, or category.

4. Select Copy.

This will then take you to the dashboard copy.
