Setting Initial Dashboard State with a Default Bookmark

The default bookmark for a dashboard specifies the settings (filter selections, menu choices, annotations) that are in effect each time users re-open the dashboard. The default bookmark, therefore, specifies the “starting state” of the dashboard.

If users have not yet bookmarked the desired dashboard state, see Saving Dash­board Settings in a New Bookmark.

To set an existing bookmark as the default bookmark:

1. Click the Bookmark button in the right side of the toolbar. This opens the Bookmark menu.

2. Right-click on the bookmark to set it as the dashboard's starting state, and select Set As Default. The dashboard will open with the settings defined by this default bookmark.

The default book­mark is subsequently shown in italics.

If users do not specify a default bookmark for a dashboard, the dashboard opens with the settings defined by the Home bookmark. To remove the default designation from a bookmark, simply designate a different user-created bookmark or the Home bookmark as the default.
