Dashboards & Visualizations

How do I declare a variable/token to be used across multiple dashboards?

Hi,

i have 10 dashboards where i am currently initializing the same tokens in all the dashboards. The problem with this is that i have to go to all 10 dashboards tho change the value when i need to change the value of a token.

question: is there a way to set a static value of a token outside a dashboard and use this token inside my dashboards ??? something like global variable/token so i only need to change the value in one place.

Note: the value of the token is static so it wont change.

thanks

You can share code between dashboards by placing it in the dashboard.js file.
You can initialize your tokens in dashboard.js and you do not need to do any change in any dashboards.

Please try and let me know if any issue.

Depending on how you're using the token you could switch to using a macro instead. Then you only have to change it in one place.
