Dashboard Templates

You can use a dashboard template to define a common panel that can be used by various users/accounts within your organization.

Dashboard templates automatically adapt to the account in which they are used, eliminating the need to recreate the same dashboard for each account.When a dashboard is saved as a template, a snapshot of its current configuration is created. Any changes made to the dashboard after the template is saved will not be reflected in the existing template unless it is saved again.

To access your dashboard templates, navigate to Cost & Usage > Dashboards and then click on the Dashboard templates tab.


Create a dashboard template

  1. Navigate to Cost & Usage > Dashboards.
  2. In the far right column of the row of the dashboard you want to save as a template, click the More info icon and then select Save as template.

The dashboard is added to the Dashboard Templates tab.
