Apply view mode settings for dashboards
Users can share dashboards with view mode settings to reduce editing access and maximize screen space. The following View Options are available in the Configuration panel:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Show edit button | Toggle on (Edit button is visible) | Toggle off to hide the Edit button in view mode. If toggled off, use Settings > User interface > Views or the Dashboards page to edit the dashboard. |
| Show Open In Search button | Toggle on (Open In Search button is visible) | Toggle off to hide the Open In Search button
( |
| Show export button | Toggle on (Export button is visible) | Toggle off to hide the Export button in view mode's Actions dropdown.
If toggled off, users can't export dashboards. |
| Show action menu | Toggle on (action menu is visible) | Toggle off to hide the visualization action menu in view mode. |
| Collapse navigation | Toggle off (navigation bars are visible) | Toggle on to collapse the Splunk bar, app bar, and Dashboard Studio menu when the dashboard loads in View mode.
The navigation is not permanently removed and the user can view it by navigating to the Display dropdown list and selecting Show navigation. The Display dropdown list is unavailable to dashboards that hide the navigation bars using URL parameters. |
| Optimized rendering | Toggle on (data for high density charts is reduced to fit the chart's width) | Toggle off to render all data points, even if some might not display due to the chart's limited width. For more details, see Optimize the rendering of high density charts. |
Note: Although it is possible to hide various components of a dashboard to have a view mode experience, users with the proper permissions can still enter the editing experience from the Dashboards list page.
