Adding a dashboard to all users in different client orgs

Hi, I have created a dashboard in our primary/default org. I would like to add this dashboard to all our users who belong to different client orgs. I want them to be able to see this dashboard when they log in and not have to manually subscribe to the dashboard.

Is there any way I can add this dashboard to all new and existing users from the primary/default org?

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for reaching out. You can accomplish this from the Dashboard Management page in the Admin Console. Just head to Administration > Admin Console > then choose Dashboard Management (or just Administration > Dashboard Management):

/300d993d870a4747ad6402227062e298

This will then show all available Dashboards:

/f82594f23d3eb72becd34489f9354071

You can then click on one of these to expand options and choose '+ Add Subscriber':

/47b155a05795ffe19badd0fef1c63f55

Now, when the selected user(s) login, the selected Dashboards will show up as available Dashboards upon logging in:

/16342b27e0962a8633e6146a36ac18c4

Both of these Dashboards were added by my admin user from the Dashboard Management screen in the primary org for the user 'Test Test'.

You can read a bit more about this in our corresponding Wiki entry here as well.

Please let me know how goes and whether you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike

We have hundreds of users that I need to add it to. Is there not a more bulk method?

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for your response. When you subscribe users to a Dashboard this gets added to the PersonFavourite table twice. One with a FavouriteTypeCode of 'INBOX' and another of 'REPORTDASHBOARD':

/cadd1a79a6c8dd14d1da1ecc6ed1f544

I'm not quite sure what the 'INBOX' refers to. However, I was able to simply insert the values for the 'REPORTDASHBOARD' values and this seemed to work.

I performed the following query:

INSERT INTO personfavourite VALUES ('5','REPORTGROUP', '61195', '2021-04-30', '0', 'DISTRIBUTE', NULL, 'REPORTDASHBOARD', '0', NULL, '2', NULL, '0', '0', '0', '0', '2021-04-30 11:36:01')
/71b4993c21548e35b372ee63f88469e2

And now this user '5' aka Admin, has this 'Analysis' Dashboard subscribed to them:

/fb0060090f114810b7edbc3f3495a0d1

And it shows up properly in Dashboard Management, as it would from doing it in the UI:

/c4c6e45ac2802d2f2cc181a9f5c47c9b

And is also added to the users' favorites, as expected.

As such, I think you should be good to go using this method. You'd still have to replace each IpPerson with your user ID and make sure you change the ContentId to match the desired Dashboard as per the corresponding ReportGroup value.

Here's one way of getting that ID:

SELECT * FROM reportgroup WHERE ShortDescription = 'ANALYSIS' AND StatusCode = 'OPEN';
/7f708f79328bf9f82d1cb12795d6387c

This is for my 'Analysis' Dashboard, and a StatusCode of 'OPEN' means it's the current active Dashboard.

Honestly though, it would probably be easier to just add the desired users to a User Group in the UI, then add the group as a subscriber instead. This would also be good if you eventually need to add all the same users to another Dashboard in the future as well.

Anyways, please let me know how goes and whether you have any additional questions.

Mike

Hi Mike

I tried the user group idea. My users = 3964

/f950883113f5b6447665a798206f50a0


When I subscribe that group to that dashboard it shows 6609 subscribers? Even though there are only 3964 users.

/45cb9e8b43a6753f50156b7cdb9f8aa8

I then logged into a demo account and it shows the same dashboard twice - it even greys both of them out at the same time - like I'm viewing both dashboards at once.

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for your response. I think there may be an issue with the user group based on this information. Are your users LDAP users? If so, there's not much we can do YF-side to address this, but nevertheless I'd still be curious to take a look through how the user group assignments are configured. As such, would it be possible to provide the output for your AccessGroup and AccessGroupFlat tables in CSV format so I can take a look?

I'd also be curious to see the output of the PersonFavourite table. Basically, I expect there to either by 6609 users in the user group table or in 6609 (or maybe 6609 times 2 because of the 'INBOX' result) results in the PersonFavourite table.

One other thing to check: when you were configuring your new Group, did you add Default Dashboards here?

/04d934dbbffa0f12adf4267b3b3e9e9b

Because if you did that here, then again in the Dashboard Management page, they may have been added twice.

If neither of these are fruitful, hopefully the table outputs' will give us something.

Mike

Hi Dylan,

I'm going to go ahead and mark this one as Answered since I haven't heard back from you, but if you have further questions or concerns on this, if you respond, it will re-open the case and put it back in my queue and I'll be happy to help.

Regards,

Mike
