Article summary

Overview

A dashboard in ThreatConnect® may be exported as a dashboard file (.tdb). After you export a dashboard, you can share the corresponding dashboard file with other ThreatConnect users so that they can import the corresponding dashboard into their ThreatConnect instance.

Before You Start

User Roles

Prerequisites

  • To export and import dashboards, turn on custom dashboards for your Organization on the Account Settings screen (must be an Accounts Administrator, Operations Administrator, or System Administrator to perform this action).

Exporting a Dashboard

Follow these steps to export a dashboard:

  1. Hover over Dashboard on the top navigation bar and select a dashboard to open.
  2. Click the menu at the upper-right corner of the dashboard and select Export Dashboard. A .tdb file will be downloaded to your computer.
Note
If a dashboard contains ThreatConnect Query Language (TQL) queries that reference Attributes or Organizations by ID number, each Attribute and Organization ID number will be replaced with the name of the Attribute and Organization, respectively, upon export.

Importing a Dashboard

Follow these steps to import a dashboard:

  1. Hover over Dashboard on the top navigation bar and click Import Dashboard.
  2. Locate and select a .tdb file on your computer. If the .tdb file was imported successfully, a success message will be displayed temporarily at the lower-left corner of the screen.
  3. To view the imported dashboard, hover over Dashboard on the top navigation bar and select the dashboard under My Dashboards.
  4. Review the imported dashboard’s cards and update them as needed. For example, if you imported a dashboard from another ThreatConnect instance with cards configured to show data from owners in that instance, update those cards to show data from owners in your ThreatConnect instance instead.
Important
You cannot import a dashboard with the same name as an existing dashboard listed under My Dashboards in the Dashboard menu.
