Hi Guys
We have a sheet with a dashboard that we would like to use as a template
The sheet can be saved as a template but what about the dashboard?
We do not want to have to keep on reentering the widgets....
Thanks
I often "save as new" an entire folder with dashboard and supporting widgets including reports. It then typically takes me a few minutes to customize the new dashboard, reports so that they import the correct records to support the new dashboard.
When you Save as New with a folder, there is the option to have "Any reports, dashboards, sheet hyperlinks and cell links will refer to:" and select "Newly created sheets".
I use this A LOT. I built out an entire folder complete with a Project Plan, Dashboard, Metrics sheets, Reports, etc.
My entire department uses this and we have had no issues at all with the process. The only things that need changed are the finer details such as the client's name and whatnot in the Charter and the Client's Logo in the Dashboard. Otherwise all of the widgets pull from the new sheets and reports and the proper cell links and cross sheet references in formulas all carry over to the new sheets.
Even the new reports pull from the new project plan. The only thing I need to change there is the name of the report itself since I include the client's name in the report title.
To add to the above!
I've built solutions for clients were we save as new for Workspaces instead or together with folders.
It works great!
Best,
Andrée
I have done that a few times as well, but forgot about it. I do love the Save as New feature while linking to all of the new sheets.
Thank you all! This helps
Great!
I'm always happy to help!

Hi, "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." is the very first line in the body of every form I create. I don't remember seeing it before (unless you missed filling out a required field; then you would see the message). Is there a way to turn it off or change it? None of my forms are in English so the message is…
I have a sheet that I pull into a report. The report I then want to use to make a stacked bar chart and put into a dashboard if I can. The columns I am trying to make into a stacked chart are: Lead, project and phase. The issue is that there are several leads and I need the stacked bar chart to show in different colors for…
I have a dynamic view setup for a dashboard that has NO restrictions And on the Sharing tab, I have a Group that I created as the additional share access to the view But the individuals in the Group still cannot see the data from the dashboard. Am I missing something? Because when I share the view to them individually…
