PDFs
Manage your custom dashboards from the dashboard catalog. From there, you can view details, share dashboards, refresh data, or delete dashboards you no longer need.
You can view and manage custom dashboards from the dashboard catalog. Private dashboards are only visible to you, while public dashboards are visible to all users in your Workload Factory account. Each dashboard shows basic details such as the creator's name, the creation date, and a visibility label (Private or Public).
Custom dashboards are read-only. They cannot change your storage or workload settings.
You must have at least one custom dashboard in your Workload Factory account.
Access the dashboard catalog
-
Log in using one of the console experiences.
-
From the menu, select Workloads Overview and then Custom dashboards.
The dashboard catalog shows all custom dashboards in your Workload Factory account.
-
Review the dashboard list.
Change dashboard visibility
Make a dashboard public to share it with your team. Make it private to stop sharing it.
-
In the Custom dashboards page, locate the dashboard you want to update.
-
From the Actions drop-down menu
for that dashboard, select one of the following:-
Share dashboard - Makes the dashboard visible to all users in your Workload Factory account
-
Change to private dashboard - Makes the dashboard visible only to you
-
The dashboard updates immediately. The visibility label on the dashboard card shows the current status.
Refresh dashboard data
Check when your dashboard was last refreshed and request an on-demand scan when you need current data.
The Refresh data tooltip shows a Last Updated timestamp with the date and time when the dashboard was last refreshed. This timestamp refers to the collected data, not the last time the dashboard configuration was changed.
Selecting Refresh data starts a new scan. While a scan is running, the button is disabled and its tooltip indicates that a scan is in progress.
Workload Factory records an event in Tracker when you select either Refresh data or Load it now. Learn about monitoring operations with Tracker.
-
From the dashboard catalog, open the dashboard you want to view.
-
Hover over Refresh data to check the Last Updated date and time.
-
To request updated metrics, select Refresh data.
A banner indicates that a scan has started. Wait for the scan to complete.
-
When new data is available, a banner displays this message: "New data is available. Load it now, or click Refresh data anytime to update the view."
-
Select Load it now in the banner to load the available data into the dashboard. Alternatively, select Refresh data to update the view.
The dashboard displays the updated metrics.
Edit dashboards
You can edit a dashboard to change what it shows, including the metrics, charts, and time ranges.

Only the dashboard creator can edit the dashboard. While you are editing, other users cannot see your changes until you save them. |
-

-

Confirm the deletion.
The dashboard is permanently removed from your Workload Factory account, and all users lose access to it.
