Overview
Occasionally it can be convenient to take a dashboard you have created, and share it with someone else - a colleague, customer, or anyone else - who may not have access to the same data you used to build your dashboard, but does have similar Jet Analytics data of their own.
Using the Export feature in the Dashboard Builder, as a licensed designer, you can create a file which contains the definition of your dashboard. You can then send that file to the another licensed designer who can then import that file using their Dashboard Builder.
