The Dashboard Templates allow users to create and apply configured Dashboards that include a curated set of dashboard reports.  These can be designed at-will and are typically used to reflect job roles and functions, specific areas of interest, or are related to Assetas security role.

   • Allow Anonymous Viewing: Toggle on to allow anonymous (unauthenticated) users to view this dashboard template. It is recommended that you only enable this functionality when approved by your security department.
     • When activated, the dashboard template will become public, allowing anyone with the link to the dashboard template to view it. All dashboard controls (reports) must also be set to allow anonymous viewing for the individual controls to be visible in the dashboard template.
     • When toggled on, an icon will appear in the list of dashboard templates in the Description column to indicate the dashboard template allows for anonymous viewing.
