About dashboard templates
Dashboard templates define a reusable dashboard layout. This reduces configuration effort and helps you standardize how information is presented on every asset’s dashboard across your portfolio. Once created, the templates can be applied to dashboards of multiple assets and updated centrally when requirements change.
Dashboard templates also serve as the basis for report templates, which in turn are the basis for reports.
