Dashboards - Clone Tile

Clones the specified tile from My workspace.

When a tile is cloned to another workspace and bound to another report and dataset, it's cloned as is with its underlying query containing the original report filters.

If the target report ID and target dataset are missing, the following can occur:

  • If you're cloning a tile within the same workspace, the report and dataset links will be cloned from the source tile.
  • If you're cloning a tile within a different workspace, report and dataset links will be removed, and the tile will be broken.
