Import a visual

Use the following procedure to import a visual from a source dashboard or analysis to a different analysis.

  1. Open the Quick Suite console.

  2. Open the analysis that you want to import a visual to.

  3. Choose File, and then choose Import. Alternatively, you can choose the Import icon in the ADD toolbar.

  4. The Asset explorer modal opens. A list of all eligible source analyses and dashboards that you can access are displayed. Choose the artifact that you want to import a visual from, and then choose LOAD. Alternatively, enter the name of the source artifact that contains the visual that you want to import in the Find source to insert search bar. Choose the artifact that you want, and then choose LOAD.

  5. In the Select visuals to import page that opens, choose the sheet that contains the visuals that you want to import, and then choose the visuals that you want to import. You can only import visuals from one sheet at a time. When you have chosen all visuals that you want to import, choose IMPORT.

After a successful import job, the imported visuals are added to the destination analysis. The imported visuals retain the original properties that were configured to them in the source dashboard or analysis. Imported visuals inherit the theme-level properties from the theme that is applied to the destination analysis.
