Additional Notes & Consideration

  • Exporting and Importing features are only available to Admin users

  • Similar to Data Connections, the exported files can only be used by the same version of the dashboard

  • Similar to Charts, due to the complexity and the strict internal logic, we don’t have APIs for creating or editing Reports and Schedules. Users can only use the UI to create or edit Reports and Schedules with visual feedback
