Deploying a Dashboard Configuration to another Organization

Our new Dashboard feature is available upon request for the initial launch phase. Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to schedule implementation with our Services team.

Overview

Warning:
Users must contact the Support Team before attempting the Dashboard Deployment feature as it requires an Org .JSON file to complete the Deployment successfully.

The Dashboard Deployment feature allows an Administrator to export a Dashboard configuration file from one Org and import it into another. The Dashboard Deployment feature re-creates the Data Sets, Dashboard Configuration, and Dashboard position on the Dashboard Canvas. 

All existing Dashboards and Data Sets in the Org will be unavailable. At the same time, the Dashboard Import file is processing, as all existing Dashboards and Data Sets are rebuilt as part of the Dashboard Import process. A system-generated banner will appear on all Data Set and Dashboard screens, indicating that an Import is in Process.

Deploying a Dashboard Configuration to another Organization

Before an Administrator can export a Dashboard Configuration from the source Org, an Administrator must configure the Dataset, Dashboard Configuration, and Dashboard placement within the source Org. Please refer to the Data Set and Dashboard Builder categories for more information.

The source and destination Org configuration must be an exact match. Before importing the Dashboard Deployment file, you should complete an Org import using the JSON file of the source Org.

  1. From the Admin: Dashboard Deployment screen, click the Export button on the Dashboards Export section.

  1. The system will begin processing the Dashboard Configuration zip file. When the export is complete, a zip folder will appear in the Downloads folder on the connected PC with the following format: dashboard_orgname_date_time.zip.
  2. Log into an Org to import the Dashboard Configuration zip file and navigate to the Admin: Dashboard Deployment screen.
  3. From the Admin: Dashboard Deployment screen, drag and drop the Dashboard Configuration zip file into the designated area on the screen, or click within the designated area and select the file from the connected PC.

Note:
When processing a Dashboard Import, you can navigate away from the Admin: Dashboard Deployment screen and the import will continue without keeping the screen open.
