Edit Dashboard Info

If you wish to change the name or description of your dashboard, you can do that from the list of your dashboards.

On the dashboard page, select the dashboard you wish to edit by clicking on the checkbox next to its name.

Click the Edit Dashboard button.

You will be presented with a form with three text inputs:

  • Name - A short descriptive title of your data. Letters, numbers, and spaces are valid characters, and this field is required. The feed name must be unique for your account.
  • Key - Used when accessing the dashboard programatically. By default, the key is a lowercase version of your dashboard name with spaces removed. You can modify the key to be any unique combination of lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes.
  • Description - A long form description of your data. This field is not required, but it's useful to provide a detailed description if your dashboard will be public.

Once you have finished editing these fields, click the Save button.
