Create and manage dashboards
Create a new dashboard, name it, find it, open it and delete it.
This page helps you create a new dashboard, find the ones you have and delete the ones you no longer use. You do all of it from App Studio's home page.
Create a dashboard
- On App Studio's home page, press Create a new application. The editor opens with a dashboard named "Untitled dashboard".
- Click the name at the top left and type a new one.
A new dashboard is in the top level of My Drive. To keep it in a folder, move it in Drive.
Next: place widgets.
Create from Drive
- In Drive, open the folder where the dashboard should live.
- Right-click an empty spot, choose New item, then choose Application.
Drive creates the dashboard in that folder and opens App Studio in a new tab.
Saving
App Studio saves by itself about a second after you make a change. You do not need to press save. The status is next to the dashboard's name.
- Saving...: it is saving.
- All changes saved: saving is done.
- Could not save: press Retry in the red bar under the name.
If you clear the name, App Studio does not save. Type a name back in and saving continues.
Find and open a dashboard
- Type a name in the Search box.
- In Owner, choose to see Anyone, My Drive or Shared with me.
- Press the sort button and choose Last modified or Name.
Click a card to open it for viewing. To edit, press the three-dot button on the card, then choose Edit.
Who can do what
| Permission on the dashboard | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Owner, Organizer or Item organizer | Open, edit, share and delete |
| Writer, Commenter or Reader | View only |
If the menu on a card has only Open, you cannot edit that dashboard.
Delete a dashboard
- Press the three-dot button on the card, then choose Delete.
- Press Delete again to confirm.
The dashboard goes to Drive's trash. If you deleted it by mistake, restore it from the trash in Drive.
