Layout Master Dashboard

The Master dashboards inside Squirro have a centralized place for storing master layouts, including section sizing.

The best way to understand the Master dashboard is to think of it as a template for all other dashboards. It is a dashboard that is not visible to the user, but is used to control the layout of other dashboards when those dashboards are synced.

Important: The Master dashboard will not be visible under the dashboard space.

Layout Master Overview

The Layout Master dashboard is the central place for controlling things like tabs alignment to the center section.

It can be used to create a uniform layout for all dashboards and also to have a consistent header, footer, theme, etc. It has its own configuration options which are different from a normal dashboard.

Note

Every project gets a master dashboard by default, which cannot be deleted or transferred to another dashboard.

Syncing

Each dasboard has a Sync button in its Dashboard Editor that will sync the dashboard with the master dashboard.

Individual dashboards can choose to sync to master.

Important: It is not compulsory to sync dashboards and new dashboards are not synced to Master by default.

Warning

It is possible to lose content within a dashboard by syncing with Master. For example, if you have a Bottom section enabled, then sync with a Layout Master which doesn’t have a Bottom section, the widgets will be lost.
