Building and running dashboard playlists

A dashboard playlist is a selection of dashboards that can be played in a looped sequence. Any dashboard can appear in such a playlist. A playlist consists of one or more dashboards displayed in a sequence, separated by a specified interval. They're typically used to create an automated display cycle of dashboards for unattended venues such as kiosks or operation centers.

  1. From the left sidebar, select Dashboards | Playlists.
