How do I edit a preinstalled Summary Board?

The Summary Boards are built from standard configurations that already exist in the system. You can modify these imported configurations to suit your needs. This article explains how to edit the existing boards or copy them to create a new one.

 

This feature is available with the following tiers:

checkmark-icon-teal Standard
checkmark-icon-teal Premium
checkmark-icon-teal Enterprise

 

What do you want to modify?

Summary Boards are built from a redesigned document card connected to a summary page, which displays selections, diagrams, or KPIs.
