Dashboard Options and Settings

Overview

Dashboard Options and Settings control global behaviours and administrative functions for all Dashboards in your organisation. From this area, you can enable Manager Dashboards, perform batch operations, and configure system-wide Dashboard preferences.

FAQs

Q: Do existing Manager Dashboards disappear if I disable the feature?
No. Existing Manager Dashboards remain accessible. Managers just won't be able to create new ones.

Q: Can I limit which managers can create Dashboards?
The setting applies to all managers equally. You cannot selectively enable it for specific managers.

Q: Do batch operations affect Manager Dashboards?
Batch operations typically apply to company Dashboards. Manager Dashboards are personal and managed individually.

Q: Can I undo a batch operation?
Batch operations cannot be directly undone. You would need to perform another batch operation or manually update affected Dashboards.
