Import Perspectives into the New User Interface
You can import perspectives from the classic user interface to the new user interface at anytime. You can:
- Use the Import Perspectives tool to import classic perspectives. The import iterates through each dashboard and chart in the perspective and moves them to the new user interface. The import dialog provides details of the conversion. Unsupported classic charts and settings are not imported.
- Import perspectives many times. Each import creates a copy of the perspective in the new user interface. Importing does not change the original, classic perspective.
- Check imported charts in the new user interface to make they visualize data as expected.
- Hide or Show the Import Perspectives tool from admin settings.
Imported perspectives, dashboards, and charts are not shared. You choose when to switch your viewers and collaborators from the classic to the new Dashboards experience.
