Ready-made documents

Latest Dynatrace

Use Dynatrace ready-made documents right out of the box.

What's special about ready-made documents
  • Created and automatically distributed by Dynatrace as examples and templates.
  • Read-only: you can edit them for use during your session, and you can save a copy with your changes, but you can't save your changes to the original document.
  • This icon in a table of documents indicates that it's a ready-made document.

Using read-only documents

When you open a document (dashboard or notebook) for which you don't have write permission, you can still edit the document during your session. After you're finished, you have two options:

  • Save your changes to a new document
  • Discard your changes

Example in Dashboards

  1. Go to Dashboard Dashboards, list the ready-made dashboards, and select the Getting started dashboard.

    It says Read-only in the upper-left corner, next to the document name.

  2. Select the Pie chart tile and then select Edit.

  3. Change the visualization from Pie to Donut.

    Now, next to Read-only, you are offered two buttons: Save as new and Discard changes.

  4. Use the updated dashboard as needed. You have full edit access for this session.

  5. When you're finished, select what to do with your changes:

    • Save as new—saves your changes in a new copy of the edited dashboard.
    • Discard changes—discards your changes and returns you to the unedited read-only dashboard.

Example in Notebooks

  1. Go to Notebooks Notebooks, list the ready-made notebooks, and select the Getting started notebook.

    It says Read-only in the upper-left corner, next to the document name.

  2. Select the Line chart section and then select Options.

  3. Change the visualization from Line to Area.

    Now, next to Read-only, you are offered two buttons: Save as new and Discard changes.

  4. Use the updated notebook as needed. You have full edit access for this session.

  5. When you're finished, select what to do with your changes:

    • Save as new—saves your changes in a new copy of the edited notebook.
    • Discard changes—discards your changes and returns you to the unedited read-only notebook.
