Dashboard List

Overview

Organize and streamline your expanding dashboard collection with Dashboard List features. Group dashboards into lists, assign them to specific teams, and mark important ones as favorites for fast access to key visualizations. Manage dashboard organization further by using functionalities like filtering by Teams, performing bulk actions for efficient management, and assigning Teams to multiple dashboards. Explore, create, and manage custom or integrated dashboards effortlessly on the Dashboard List page. View and manage your dashboards:

• Use the All Dashboards table to sort, search, and group your lists.
• Organize your dashboard views through lists.

View all dashboards

The All Dashboards table lists dashboards in your Datadog organization, either custom created or available as an out-of-the-box dashboard. Select multiple dashboards in the table to conduct bulk actions, such as associating Teams with dashboards or adding dashboards to lists.

You can sort by column headers Name, Modified, and Popularity.

Popularity

An organization’s most popular dashboard displays five popularity bars. All other dashboards are relative to this dashboard. Popularity is based on the amount of traffic a dashboard receives. Popularity is updated daily; new dashboards have zero popularity bars for up to 24 hours.

Note: Traffic to public dashboard URLs is ignored for popularity.

Teams

Use the My Teams toggle to switch between viewing all dashboards and only dashboards owned by your teams.

To edit the teams associated with one or more dashboards, take the following steps:

1. Select the checkbox next to each dashboard you wish to modify.
2. Open the Edit Teams dropdown in the upper right.
3. Use the checkboxes to select the appropriate teams for the dashboards.
4. Click Apply Changes.

Lists

Dashboard lists groups dashboards so you and your team can switch between dashboards within the same context. You can add dashboards to preset lists or to a custom list.

1. To create a dashboard list, click + New List in the upper right.
2. Click the pencil icon to change a list’s title. The list’s title is automatically set with the user’s first name. For example, John's list.
3. Add dashboards to a list. In the All Dashboards table, check the checkboxes next to the Dashboard title. Then click the Add to dropdown in the upper right corner of the Dashboard list and select the list.

The left sidebar displays all lists, which you can filter by Team or through search terms. Toggle Hide Controls to hide this sidebar.

Favorite lists

Favorite lists are dashboard lists starred by the current logged in user. Note: If you have no starred lists, the Favorite Lists category is hidden.

Preset lists

Preset lists are out-of-the-box dashboard lists in Datadog:

Restore deleted dashboards

Use the preset Recently Deleted list to restore deleted dashboards. From the list, select all dashboards to restore and click Restore to. Select a specific list to restore the dashboards to, or select All Custom to restore them without a custom list. Dashboards in Recently Deleted are permanently deleted after 30 days.

Search syntax

Use the search bar at the top of the Dashboard List page to filter dashboards by name, author, tags, or widget content. The search supports free-text queries, key:value filters, Boolean operators, and range comparisons.

Free-text search

Type one or more words to search across dashboard titles, descriptions, author names, tags, and widget content.

• Single token: redis matches dashboards with “redis” in the title, author, tags, or widgets.
• Multiple tokens: redis postgres is equivalent to redis AND postgres—both tokens must appear.
• Quoted phrase: "web latency" matches that exact phrase.
• Wildcard: elastic* matches “elasticsearch”, “elastic-search”, and similar.

Key:value filters

Narrow results to a specific field using key:value syntax.

Boolean operators

Combine filters with AND, OR, and NOT (case-sensitive). The - prefix and ! prefix are equivalent to NOT.

Range operators

Use <, >, <=, and >= with numeric fields.
