Dashboards: Create, Duplicate, Switch & Save.

A dashboard is a saved analysis: a set of views, filters, configuration and settings, built for one audience or one story. A survey can have as many as you like — one per client, one per team, one per question the business keeps asking — and you move between them with the switcher at the top of the sidebar. (New to Analyse? Start with the Analysis Overview.)

Switch — and the one rule that matters

Click the ▾ next to the dashboard name and pick from the list:

The dashboard bar with the switcher open: the current dashboard's name, duplicate and add buttons, and a list of the survey's other dashboards

Save before you switch. If you have unsaved changes, switching dashboards warns you first — a dialog reads “Unsaved changes will be lost, are you sure?” Click Cancel to stay put (then Save), or OK to switch and discard them. There’s no undo once they’re gone, so if you’ve added filters, reconfigured tables or reordered views, Save before you move. (With nothing unsaved the switch just happens — no prompt. The flip side is handy too: to bin an experiment, switch away, click OK, and come back.)

Create & duplicate

Two ways to make a dashboard, and they suit different jobs:

  • + (in the dashboard bar) creates a new dashboard — and it arrives with every question in the survey as a view. That’s a great raw-material starting point, but expect to prune: remove or hide the views you don’t need in the View Manager, and bring in existing filters with Import rather than rebuilding them.
  • Duplicate (the copy icon next to the name) clones the current dashboard — views, filters and configuration included. It’s the fastest route to a variant: duplicate your master, rename it, and tailor the copy per client or per stakeholder.

Rename & delete

Open the dashboard Settings (⚙ in the sidebar), edit the Name field, click Apply, then Save:

Delete sits at the bottom right of the same Settings panel — it removes the dashboard permanently after an Okay/Cancel confirmation, so make sure nothing links to its shared version first.

One more rename that lives outside Settings: the survey title shown under the dashboard bar. Click it, type, and Save — e.g. change "Have your say!" to "Checkout Satisfaction".

What Save actually covers

Save (top of the sidebar) commits everything in the dashboard: views and their order, filters and chips, table and chart configuration, and the Settings. Until you save, changes are yours alone — a private scratchpad that a refresh or a dashboard switch wipes clean. Once you save, that state is what everyone sees, including anyone with a shared link.

(The Legacy Mode button in the top corner opens the previous analysis interface. Switch back returns you to Analyse — note it lands on the survey’s first dashboard, not necessarily the one you left.)

The rest of the dashboard bar

Each icon in the sidebar has its own guide, so this article won’t re-teach them:

FAQs

I switched dashboards and lost my work.
When you switch with unsaved changes Glow warns you first (“Unsaved changes will be lost, are you sure?” — OK discards, Cancel keeps you put). If you clicked OK there’s no undo, so make Save a habit before touching the switcher.

My new dashboard has dozens of views!
By design — + starts a new dashboard with every survey question as a view. Prune it in the View Manager, or start from Duplicate instead if an existing dashboard is closer to what you want.

Do people with my shared link see my unsaved changes?
No — shared dashboards mirror the saved state. And any custom analysis your viewers do in the shared dashboard reverts to your saved state when they refresh.

Can I reuse filters from another dashboard?
Yes — filters belong to a dashboard, but Import copies them across in a couple of clicks.
