Creating, editing & deleting dashboards
- Create — Dashboards → New. Name it and start adding widgets.
- Edit — open a dashboard and toggle edit mode to move/resize/configure widgets. Auto-save persists changes after a short pause.
- Duplicate — from the dashboard list. Copies the layout, widgets, variables and settings as
(copy) ; the copy counts toward your plan's dashboard limit. Its widgets keep pointing at the same devices, so open the copy and re-point them — the quick way to make one dashboard per site or station from a template you've got right. If the copies would differ only in which station they show, you don't need copies at all: a station variable binds the widgets to${station}and a picker in the toolbar switches the one dashboard to any station. - Delete — soft-deletes the dashboard; it's removed from your list.
If you have the same dashboard open in two tabs, the second save may be rejected as stale — Synacl reloads the latest version so you don't overwrite changes. Re-apply your edit and it saves cleanly.
Leaving with unsaved or invalid changes
Auto-save only persists a valid configuration. If a widget is incomplete (for example, freshly added but not yet bound to a device tag), the toolbar shows an Invalid Config pill and saving pauses until you fix or remove it.
If you navigate away in that state, a dialog explains what's wrong and offers two choices:
- Stay & fix — remain on the dashboard and finish configuring (the dialog lists the specific problems).
- Discard changes & leave — abandon the unsaved edits; the dashboard reverts to its last saved version.
