Changing which dashboard is the main dashboard

Post by Six_Shooter »

Is there a way that I am just not seeing (drop down menus, right clicking, etc) to re-order or change which dashboard is the main dashboard/gauge cluster?

On a couple of my projects I'd like one of my own created dashboards to be the default/main dashboard. I don't see any easy way to do this. I'm sure if I created a new project and imported one of my dashboards at that time it would work, but I would rather not need to do that every time I make a small change to the main dashboard I want to use.

If this is not a feature to re-order dashboards, is this something that could be added in the future? :)

You can load what ever dash you want into the Main Dashboard by doing a right click, load Dashboard.

Right Click:
Load /Save --> Load Dashboard

There is not a way to rearrange the Dashboard tabs. Tab Reordering was implemented for the Tuning Views, but has not been back ported to dashboards.

Ok, so importing a dash will overwrite the current open dashboard... That's an ok way to do it. Better than making a whole new project like I was thinking. lol

A simple click on the tab and drag to re-order feature would be awesome though... just saying. ;)

Thanks. I'll set my dashboards in the order I ant now by exporting/importing them. :)
