Starring and tagging dashboards
Our previous sections mostly dealt with the key structural aspects of a dashboard: the name and its location in a specific folder. We will now turn to more semantic aspects, ones that are best described in terms of dashboard metadata, namely dashboard stars and labels. As we saw in Chapter 10, Working with Advanced Dashboard Features and Elasticsearch, dashboard tags may prove useful when linking dashboards, but that’s not the case for tags or stars, as we’re about to find out.
Marking dashboards as favorites
Starred dashboards are mostly useful for when you want to highlight certain dashboards as important or otherwise memorable to you. They can be for bookmarking frequently accessed dashboards or for marking dashboards as needing some kind of special attention.
Starring dashboards is even easier than tagging:
- Load up a dashboard.
- Click the star icon to Mark as favorite, as shown in the following screenshot:
