Support for package capabilities

Access to specific functions in package-based dashboards depends on package capabilities.

You need the Dashboard > Create/Edit package capability to use more advanced functions in package-based dashboards.

Package capabilities

For example, you need this capability to use the Create dashboard option from the package context menu, as shown in the following image.

Create dashboard from a package

The following functions in a package-based dashboard depend on the Create/Edit package capability. These functions are not available if the dashboard contains even one package for which a user doesn’t have this capability.

  • Creating a dashboard against a package or adding packages as data sources in dashboards.
  • Using the Edit mode in dashboards, copying and pasting widgets that use the package, and saving the dashboard.
  • Adding pins in the dashboard canvas.
  • Using the Create dashboard option in the Assistant panel if the selected data source is a package.
