Article summary

Overview

After you add a card to a dashboard in ThreatConnect®, you can use the card’s ACTIONS menu to manage the card. The ACTIONS menu includes options to edit the card’s configuration, rename the card, remove the card from the dashboard, and select which owners to display data from on the card.

Before You Start

User Roles

  • To edit, rename, delete, and manage owners for dashboard cards on custom dashboards you created or another user in your Organization shared, your user account can have any Organization role.
  • To edit, rename, delete, and manage owners for dashboard cards on System-level dashboards that are not built-in dashboards, your user account must have a System role of Administrator.

Prerequisites

  • To have access to custom 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).

  1. Hover over Dashboard on the top navigation bar and select a dashboard to open.
  2. Hover over a card on the dashboard, click ACTIONS at the top right of the card, and select one of the following options from the ACTIONS menu (Figure 1):

Note
If there is no ACTIONS option at the top right of a dashboard card when you hover over it, you do not have permission to edit the dashboard. Instead, you must copy the dashboard and then edit that copy.

  2. Hover over a card on the dashboard, click ACTIONS at the top right of the card, and select Manage Owners.

To select the same owners that are selected in the My Intel Sources selector, turn on the Inherit owner selections from My Intel Sources toggle. To select a single owner, hover over the owner’s name and clickView Only Eye icononly.
