Working with the dashboard editor

Introduction

Dashboards are used to visualize data in a meaningful way to end-users. After creating a process app, you can edit the dashboards to customize the process app to your business needs. The dashboard editor provides various options to create different views, and to organize, group, and filter data.

Any changes you make to the dashboards or charts are automatically saved. You can see the status of the app saving in the bar; when all your changes are saved the status is Up to date.

Once your changes are saved, you can safely close the dashboard editor. When you re-open the dashboard editor, you can continue working on the process app from the last saved state.

Note: To make the changes available to end-users, you must publish the app. See Publishing Dashboards.

The dashboard editor enables you to collaborate with other developers on a process app. Once your changes are saved they are available for other developers working on the process app.
