Dashboard Management Options

Simple Dashboard Management

By default, the dashboards page displays the same dashboards for all vehicles, and this is referred to as Simple Dashboard Management.

Advanced Dashboard Management

Advanced Dashboard Management allows you to fully customize which dashboards are displayed for each vehicle and includes the ability to copy, link, and reorder dashboards. You can enable Advanced Dashboard Management by turning off the ‘Use Simple Dashboard Management’ option on the Settings > Preferences > General page. The remainder of this page discusses the features that are available when Advanced Dashboard Management is enabled.


Advanced Dashboard Management Features

If you have at least one connected vehicle and have disabled the ‘Use Simple Dashboard Management’ option, you can access the advanced dashboard management features by going to Dashboards > Menu > Manage Dashboards. This section provides a quick overview of each of the features.

Per-Vehicle Dashboards

The vehicle editor keeps track of each vehicle that you have connected. It's common to want to have different dashboards for each of your vehicles because different vehicle support different PIDs. Advanced Dashboard Management allows you to configure different dashboards for each vehicle, and the dashboards will be automatically loaded for each vehicle when you connect to that vehicle or when you switch vehicles in the vehicle editor.

Copying Dashboards

When managing dashboards, you can easily create a copy of a dashboard. You can also copy dashboards between different vehicles. When a copy of a dashboard is created, any changes to that dashboard will not affect the other copies of that dashboard.

Linking Dashboards

When managing dashboards, you can easily link a dashboard between one or more vehicles. Any changes to the linked dashboard will affect that dashboard for all linked vehicles. If you want to make changes to a linked dashboard that only apply to one vehicle, you can unlink the dashboard, which will make a copy of the dashboard. Changes made to the copy will no longer affect the other linked dashboards.

Reordering Dashboards

When managing dashboards, you can reorder the dashboards so they appear on the dashboard page in the order that you specify.


Copying Dashboards

Open Dashboard Management by pressing Menu > Manage Dashboards on the Dashboards page. Press the copy button to the right of a dashboard to create a copy of that dashboard. Once the copy is created, it will be added to the end of the list of dashboards.

To copy a dashboard from another vehicle, press the Add button on the top right of the dashboard management page, then press 'Copy and Link Dashboards'. A page will open that displays a list of dashboards for all of your other vehicles. Press the Copy button next to the dashboard(s) that you want to copy, and the copy icon will appear to the left of that dashboard indicating it is in the ready to copy state. If you decide that you don't want to copy that dashboard, press the copy icon that is now displayed to the left of the dashboard and the dashboard will be taken out of the copy state and will no longer be copied to the active vehicle.

Once you are done selecting the dashboards that you want to copy, press the back button to go back to the dashboard management page and the dashboard(s) that you selected will be copied to the active vehicle.


Linking Dashboards

A page will open that displays a list of dashboards for all of your other vehicles.
