Rebuilding dashboards without Adverity dashboard templates#

Adverity dashboard templates are being removed from the Adverity platform. This guide explains what you need to do as a result of this change.

Introduction#

From June 2023, Adverity dashboard templates will no longer be available in the Adverity platform. This change will affect all dashboards that you have created using Adverity’s dashboard templates. Custom dashboard templates, and any dashboards that you have created using custom dashboard templates, will not be affected by this change.

If you have created any dashboards using Adverity dashboard templates, you will need to perform the following actions:

  • Check whether your dashboards will be affected by this change.

  • Rebuild all affected dashboards without Adverity dashboard templates.

Checking whether your dashboards are affected#

To check whether any of your dashboards will be affected by this change, follow these steps:

  1. In Present, click Select workspace and then click Administration.

  2. In the secondary menu, in the Present section, click Storages.

  3. In the first row in the table, click Delete.

  4. In the Delete Storage window that appears, in the Dashboards that will be deleted section, you will see a list of all dashboards that are linked to this storage.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all rows in the table to see dashboards that are linked to other storages.

You will need to manually rebuild all dashboards listed in the Dashboards that will be deleted section for all storages.

Rebuilding a dashboard without using a dashboard template#

To rebuild a dashboard that is linked to a storage, follow these steps:

  1. In Present, open the dashboard that you want to rebuild.

  2. In the top right corner, click Export.

  3. In the drop-down menu, click < > Export as dashboard config.

  4. In the field containing the config, find and delete all entries containing storageId.

    For example, if your config contains “storageId”:1 (the number may be different in your config), delete this entire entry.

  5. In the field containing the config, find and delete all references to _adverity_e2e.

    For example, if your config contains cpm_adverity_e2e, delete _adverity_e2e so this becomes cpm.

  6. Click Copy to copy the config to your clipboard.

  7. Click Close to return to your dashboard.

  8. In the top navigation panel, click Present to return to your dashboards overview.

  9. In the top right corner, click < > Create |dashboard| from config.

  10. In the window that appears, paste the config you copied in step 6 into the Config field.

  11. Click Create as new dashboard.

  12. Follow steps 1-5 in Checking whether your dashboards are affected above to check that this new dashboard is not listed in the Dashboards that will be deleted section of the Delete Storage page.

    The original dashboard that you created using an Adverity dashboard template will still be listed there.

If the new dashboard is not listed, you have successfully rebuilt the original dashboard without using an Adverity dashboard template.

If the new dashboard is listed in addition to the original dashboard, repeat steps 1-12 above and ensure that you have deleted all storageId entries and references to _adverity_e2e in the config.
