# Dashboard Manager

The **Dashboard Manager** is your central hub for organizing and managing your dashboards. It lists every dashboard you have access to, including system dashboards, Command Centers, and custom dashboards created by you or shared with you.

From the **Dashboard Manager**, you can perform the following tasks:

* **Create dashboards**: Create a new dashboard from scratch or build one from a template.
* **Set default dashboard**: Select any available dashboard to serve as your primary view upon login.
* **Edit dashboards**: Rename the dashboard, update its description, adjust the layout, or modify widget data.
* **Duplicate**: Create a copy of an existing dashboard to use as a starting point for a new version.
* **Import**: Import dashboard configurations in JSON format.
* **Export**: Export the dashboard configuration as a JSON file, or save it as a report template.
* **Change ownership**: Transfer the management and ownership of a dashboard to another user (available to Administrators only).
* **Manage access**: Share custom dashboards with other users, groups, or API keys. Custom dashboards are **Restricted** by default but can be assigned the following visibility levels:
  * **Public**: Visible to all users with the appropriate role permissions to view dashboards.
  * **Restricted**: Visible only to the dashboard owner and specific authorized users or groups.

Icons in the **Source** column can help you to identify the security access and status of your dashboards.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/data-security-documentation/inventory-and-monitoring/dashboards-and-reports/manage-dashboards-and-reports/dashboard-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
