2.1.0 is out. It has one item, and it is the one I have wanted to post for a while: you can create, edit and arrange your own dashboards. Modules can also add boards of their own.
Start from Dashboards and New dashboard. If you have never built one, Build your first dashboard takes you to a board with one value and one chart. Adding, moving, resizing and removing cards is on Create and organise boards.
Questions go here. Boards you are proud of (or stuck on) can go to Show and tell.
Does this need admin? Most of my team are plain members.
No. Every member with Create and arrange your own dashboards can make personal boards, and users have that by default. Sharing a board with the whole workspace needs Manage shared dashboards, which admins have by default. A member can still open a shared board and make a personal copy to rearrange for themselves.
Built my first one this morning following the getting started page. Took me a while to work out that you resize a card by dragging its corner, my chart was a thin strip at first and I thought the data was wrong lol
What does “modules can add their own boards” mean in practice? Will boards show up in my list without me doing anything?
Some do. With the SCADA module, for example, sample process boards are added for the core symbol set and for each symbol library your organisation holds. If you delete one of those it is not offered again. The ready solutions also bring their boards when you install them. Your own boards stay as they are either way.
Two of us were customising the same shared board this morning and my save bounced back with a message that the dashboard had changed elsewhere and was reloaded. Expected, or did we break something?
Expected. Two people can customise the same board, and a save that meets the other person’s newer change reloads the board and asks you to try again, so neither of you overwrites the other without knowing. If you were both in the same card’s settings, the drawer offers Reload (discard mine) or Overwrite theirs instead.
