Change name of default dashboard

Hello,

I would like to rename the "reports" and "alerts" dashboard to something else. Is there a way to do this, or are their names set?

Thank you in advance!

You can use anchor tag instead of view tag as follows:

<collection label="Search">
        <a href='/app/search/dashboards'>Custom Dashboard</a>
        <view name="dashboards"/>
        <view name="reports" />
        <view name="predictive_analytics" />
        <view name="data_models" />
        <view name="search" />
    </collection>

The section Add navigation to a Splunk app in the documentation should help you change the names in the app bar.

Thank you for your solution! Is there a way to set the URL path so that it gets the name of the current app and then redirects to the dashboard? e.g.

<a href='/app/<currentApp>/reports'>Scheduled Searches </a>
