Dashboard is called view in splunk. you can see all views by going to Settings -> User Interface under Knowledge - > views 

once you are done with all your dashboard creation. 

open  Settings -> User Interface under Knowledge - > Navigation Menus -> default

you will see something like below :

<nav search_view="search" color="#5CC05C">
<view name="search" default="true" />
<view name="analytics_workspace" />
<view name="datasets" />
<view name="reports" />
<view name="alerts" />
<view name="dashboards" />

<collection label="Inventory Monitor">
<view name="view1"/>
<view name="view2"/>
<view name="view3"/>
</collection>
</nav>

Inventory Monitor is label for the collection like you see search, Reports and Dashboard in search & reporting and its now dropdown with three views ( view1, view2,view3) you can add any number of views ( dashboards) to collection ( dropdown)

Thanks for your quick response, 

I am able to view all the dashboard I have created till now under settings, but how can I view them under Master dashboard dropdown menu. Do I need to move all the dashboard or clone them? Again  when I am trying to move them, I am not getting my master dashboard option for destination list. Kindly suggest.

for example, if you are creating new menu in search & reporting like Reports, Dashboards like I have given in example, your views should be moved to search & reporting so that Splunk can Pick up them. if your views are created under different app let's say app1 and if you are referring them in different app, it won't work.
