Can I customize the vService dashboard with templates? ​

Short answer

Yes. The view tabs on the Dashboard are each a template; from the menu at the end of the tabs, a new template is created with Create New Template as an empty one and with Duplicate Current as a copy of the selected tab, panels are added with the Add Visualization card, and panels are moved and resized. Changes are saved instantly and per user; the same templates appear on all vService dashboards. Built-in tabs cannot be deleted but can be edited and are reverted with Reset to Default; Reset All to Defaults resets all templates and changes. At most 16 custom templates per user and at most 32 panels per tab are added.

Problem: The Panels Needed on the Dashboard Are Scattered ​

The metrics checked in daily monitoring are spread across different tabs; the panels needed are wanted gathered in a single view without moving between tabs every time.

Solution: Three Methods ​

All three paths are written to the same user record; the choice is between starting with an empty template, copying a built-in tab or changing a built-in tab directly.

Method 3: Editing a Built-In Tab ​

Common Mistakes ​

  • Assuming the template belongs only to that vService. Templates belong to the user and appear on all vService dashboards; other users do not see these changes.
  • Trying to delete a built-in tab. Built-in tabs cannot be deleted; changes are reverted with Reset to Default. Remove Template works only on user templates.
  • Double-clicking a tab by mistake and accepting the confirmation. Double-clicking returns the tab to the default.
  • Exceeding the limits. At most 16 templates per user and at most 32 panels per tab are added; a warning is shown at the limit (scope and limits).
