Probably you can add a new custome dashboard with required fields and set it as shared.

Hi @bilalrao12 ,

I found this stanza in webapp_config.json which looks oood, but it doesn't seem to be working.

"dashboard_settings": { "_comment": "Here you can define a customs dashboards home", "dashboard_home": "/usr/local/homer/etc/Home_8x8.json" },
If I add a new user the new users' dashboard does not render.....

Please review and advise.

Please make sure it's set to 'Shared', otherwise it will not show up for the user.

Hi Dletta, I hope you're well. There is a line in the json file "shared," I have set it to true. The new user does not see the dashboard on login unfortunately.

I'll repeat the process, but I'm going to generate the file from the "support user" instead of "admin"

LMK if you have any logs or anything you think I should check.

PS - What I'm trying to do is have a standardized dashboard to be displayed when a new user logs in to homer.

Hi Jim,

This is quite normal and should work out of the box and so far our team could not reproduce the problem.
Do those users at least see the default dashboards when accessing?

Hi Lorenzo, yeah, I thought so. I seem to have lost the original dashboard_home.json, if you have a copy somewhere, might you send it along? Maybe it's in the repo, I'll look there.

At this point, no, the new users see no dashboards. Only the Admin and Support users can see it. So that's why I kind of wanted to start fresh.

Hi Lorenzo,

I have retested this on several machines. I cannot get a specific dashboard to become a "defaut dashboard" for all users to share a common experienced. I've tried a variety of tricks to make it work, and it really isn't working.

If there's anything I can provide, I' happy to send it along.

Thanks!

I've attached dashboard_home and webapp_config for your review.

When the dashboard json file is loaded the user does not see all the extra search filters, and the clock TZ is not updated.

@AlexeyOplachko - Thanks for the update. Please let me know if you need any other information.

So main issue turned out to be due to slightly incorrect format on export. Once we release new version you should be good to go to export new .json file for your dashboard and put it as you did before as default @jagnetta
