Bulk Actions for Custom Dashboards

Bulk actions for Custom Dashboards make it easy to manage multiple dashboards at once, allowing dashboard editors to quickly archive, delete, or update permissions directly from the Custom Dashboards page. 

On the Custom Dashboards page, checkboxes will be visible next to dashboards you have editor access to. Select one or more dashboards by clicking the checkboxes to activate the bulk action buttons at the top of the list.

Note: If you only have viewer access for a specific dashboard, the checkbox will be disabled. 

Bulk Edit Access 

You can add or remove Viewers and Editors for multiple dashboards at once by clicking the 'Bulk Edit Access' button at the top of your list. 

The Bulk Edit Access modal will open. Click the checkbox to activate the fields you'd like to edit. Click the 'Next' button once all your selections have been made to confirm your edits.

Note: Only one “Add” action can be selected at a time, as users cannot serve as both Editors and Viewers of a dashboard at one time. 
 

On the Confirm tab, you'll see a summary of the changes you are about to make to your selected dashboards. Click the 'Update Access' button to complete your changes.
