the interval you specify and displays your changes without you having to manually refresh the dashboard 
in the NOC. Note that you do not need to refresh the entire dashboard to see data updates; individual 
widgets update according to their preferences.

Finally, you can choose to associate the new dashboard with your user account by saving it as a private 
dashboard. If you choose not to save the dashboard as private, all other users of the appliance can view it.

Keep in mind that because not all user roles have access to all dashboard widgets, users with fewer 
permissions viewing a dashboard created by a user with more permissions may not be able to use all of 
the widgets on the dashboard. Although the unauthorized widgets still appear on the dashboard, they are 
disabled.

You should also keep in mind that any user with dashboard access, regardless of role, can modify shared 
dashboards. If you want to make sure that only you can modify a particular dashboard, save it as private.

Instead of creating a new dashboard, you can export a dashboard from another appliance, then import it 
onto your appliance. You can then edit the imported dashboard to suit your needs. Note that the 
dashboard widgets you can view depend on the type of appliance you are using and on your user role; 
for example, a dashboard created on the Defense Center and imported onto a managed device may 
display some invalid, disabled widgets. For more information, see

The Dashboard Management page appears.

Click 

.

The Create Dashboard page appears.

Use the 

 drop-down list to select the dashboard on which you want to base the new 

dashboard.

You can select any predefined or user-defined dashboard. Optionally, select 

 (the default) to create 

a blank dashboard.

Type a name and optional description for the dashboard.

In the 

 field, specify (in minutes) how often the dashboard should change tabs.

Unless you pause the dashboard or your dashboard has only one tab, this setting advances your view to 
the next tab at the interval you specify. To disable tab cycling, enter 

0

 in the 

 field.

In the 

 field, specify (in minutes) how often the current dashboard tab should refresh 

with new data. This value must be greater than the 

 setting.

Unless you pause the dashboard, this setting will refresh the entire dashboard at the interval you specify. 
To disable the periodic page refresh, enter 

0

 in the 

 field.

Note that this setting is separate from the update interval available on many individual widgets; although 
refreshing the dashboard page resets the update interval on individual widgets, widgets will update 
according to their individual preferences even if you disable the 

 setting.

Optionally, select the 

 check box to associate the dashboard with your user account and to 

prevent other users from viewing and modifying the dashboard.
