    Note
    titleNote

    While modifying the Visible To and Visible By Default 794509489 and 794509489 options requires dashboard update permission, modifying the show/hide customization does not, as the show/hide customization data is owned by the user.



  • For any dashboard with Me visibility, clicking the Show/Hide column displays a drop-down list with Show and Hide options (Show is the default).
  • For any dashboard with group visibility or Everyone visibility, clicking the Show/Hide column displays a drop-down list with Show, Hide and blank options (blank is the default).
    • Show indicates the dashboard should be shown regardless of the Visible By Default configuration.
    • Hide indicates the dashboard should be hidden regardless of the Visible By Default configuration.
    • Blank indicates the dashboard should be displayed based on the Visible By Default configuration. If the dashboard is the your default dashboard, the blank option is not available, and the Show/Hide value will default to Show.
  • If the dashboard is the your default dashboard, changing the Show/Hide value from Show to Hide will clear the default dashboard designation.
