Creating dashboards

You can create dashboards manually. You can also copy project dashboards by exporting them to other projects or importing them from another project.

You might want to copy dashboards in the following scenarios:

• You have a template project that you use as a source of dashboards for all your projects.
• You use a set of small projects instead of a big one to improve the performance of the Revizto application. Use the export and import to create similar dashboards in all your projects.
• Your project has several stages and each stage requires a specific set of dashboards. Use the export and import to add a new set of dashboards.
