For Composite Widgets, the call-out identifies the statuses included in each of its Activity Widgets.

titleNote

If you unselect a group that you are not a member of from the Visible To column, and submit the change, you will not be able to add that group back. You can only select and unselect visibility for groups that you are a member of.

You cannot modify the Visible To designation for your home dashboard.

...

  • You can edit the show/hide customization for any available dashboard except the your home dashboard, which will always display as Show.
     

    Note
    titleNote

    While modifying the Visible To and Visible By Default 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.

...

  • To manually refresh the data on all Widgets in a dashboard, click the Refresh button in the bottom right corner of the dashboard.
  • To manually refresh the data for a single Widget, click the Refresh icon in the top right corner of the Widget.

Promoting a Dashboard 

You can perform a Bundleless Promotion of a Dashboard by accessing the Customize drop-down list at the bottom right corner of the dashboard and clicking Promote...

If Follow References = false for a promotion, any widget required by a promoted dashboard must already be available on the target system.

For details on how the Controller resolves dashboards that references widgets, see Preparing Bundles for Promotion / Widgets.
