Title: Copy dashboard specification to clipboard
Post by: sunny bachan prasad on 12 Feb 2018 07:30:07 AM
Hi,
Can anyone share his experience how we can copy dashboard specification to clipboard and then open it from there? Same features which we have for report in report studio. Actually I have prepared dashboard for Demo and made some changes in that but now i am not able to save updated one so though of copy its specification to clipboard and then open it from there.

Thanks in advance.

There is no option to copy a dashboard specification to the clipboard, unfortunately.

I am not sure if you can archive dashboard object or the folder it resides in and then import into other environment or same environment to a different path. Worth considering. This can be done for data module so I am guessing it can be done with dashboard as well.

Thanks

Yes, you can deploy dashboards from one instance to another via deployment archives. :)

Cheers!
