  1. Display the dashboard to edit.
  2. Click the Edit this dashboard button in the Dashboard toolbar. The Edit Dashboard page opens.
  3. Modify any of the dashboard parameters, including:
    • Portlet name
    • Show in main menu selection
    • Menu name (if the Show in main menu check box is selected)
    • Share with all users selection
  4. On the Edit Dashboard page, the portlet list includes all portlets. There are several options for filtering the list:

    Caution: Do not click the Delete link to the right of the portlet name – this action deletes the portlet from the Carbon Black App Control Server entirely, not only from the current dashboard.
  8. Click the Save button.
