Import/Export

Import and export of custom dashboards, wallboards, and templates

You can export dashboards, wallboards, and templates from one environment to another. This means after you create your own custom content based on the business requirements, you can easily build a package to use in other environments.

Tip

Pulse does not preserve links between created Widgets and Widget Templates after exporting and importing to other environments.
