Save Visuals With New Names

When you have finished making changes to a visual on a dashboard, you can save it with a new name. This essentially makes a copy of the visual in the system. The visual on the dashboard is renamed and is saved with the new name when you save the dashboard. But the original visual still exists in the system using the original name.

You can also copy a visual using the Copy option on the visual drop-down menu when you are editing a dashboard. See Copy Visuals.

To save visuals with a new name, you must be logged in as an administrator or as a user with the Can Create Visuals or Can Administer Visualsgroup privilege.
