How can I change the default dashboards for multiple existing users?

Hi Ian,

you can actually do this via the Dashboard Manager utility, however, if you want to do it via the backend then the table you want is PersonFavourite.

The columns you'll be interested in are IpPerson which identifies the user (you can check who the person is by looking up this ID in the Person table, IpPerson), ContentId which identifies the dashboard (this is the foreign key to GroupId in the ReportGroup table which is the dashboard table), and SequenceNumber which identifies the order of the dashboard tabs.

Having said that, let me remind you that we don't really recommend such backend modifications, so be very careful if you choose to do it, and please don't forget to backup your Yellowfin database immediate beforehand so you can rollback if something goes wrong.

regards,

David

Hi Ian,

I'm cleaning up my worklist and i noticed that this ticket is still open and in the "Awaiting Reply" status, so I'm wondering how you got on it and whether you would like the ticket closed or not?

If you could please let us know then that would be great!

thanks,

David

Sorry Big Dave,

I have two parts to my role.

- YellowFin Developer / Administrator.

- Data Warehouse administrator / support.

The data warehouse part has been taking up all of my time lately.

Hi Ian,

I'm wondering how you got on with the subject matter of this Question, and whether we should close this off?

Hi David,

I need help with a similar situation

Hi Ashan,

Thanks for your reply.

To give the access to default dashboards we have a community article which will help you.

If you want to take away the access, make those dashboards secure and give access to people who ever you want to give it to.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,

Mahesh
