Dashboard with Co-owner Rights

The user who creates the dashboard /gadget can also add multiple co-owners for those dashboards/gadgets. While sharing a dashboard/gadget, the users/project-roles can be allowed to as a viewer or as editors i.e. co-owners.

Use Case: QA Teams across the projects maintain a reporting template and use them for their internal reporting. This feature allows the team to collaborate in managing the dashboard. It also saves the time and effort required in creating a new QMetry dashboard /gadget every time for different users.

The dashboard /gadget owner can assign single/multiple users as co-owners of the dashboards /gadgets and can delete the dashboard/gadget.

Notes:

  • Rights of a Co-owner: Editing, deleting the dashboard, adding/removing gadgets on the dashboard, modifying filters of gadgets, sharing dashboards with users/roles or projects, scheduling, or cloning the dashboard.

  • The details of the user who updated the dashboard last are displayed on the grid view of the dashboard with the timestamp. It is useful to identify editors in case of multiple co-owners for the dashboard.
