Unlinking visuals
In CDP Data Visualization, linked visual may be unlinked to break the sharing across dashboards.
The following steps demonstrate how to unlink a visual.
-
In Visual Designer, on the dashboard sheet, hover over the visual until its control
widgets appear.
Click the (edit/pencil) icon at the top of the visual to start editing the visual.
- Open the supplemental menu by clicking the (ellipsis) icon.
Note that this visual appears as Linked, and the information about it being used in two distinct dashboards.
- From the menu, select Unlink.
- When a visual appears in multiple dashboards, it cannot be unlinked. However, it can be cloned.
Confirm the operation by clicking Clone.
-
Note that after you unlinked the visual by cloning it, it no longer has a
Linked specification.
In fact, it is completely independent of the original visual, and its title is Clone of …[Original Name].
- You may chose to change the title of the visual to the original title, or use something different.
-
At the top left corner of the Visual Designer, click
Save.
- Click Close to return to editing the dashboard sheet.
- Notice that the visual no longer has the linked designation in the lower right corner.
