Save Visuals With New Names

Save Visuals With New Names

All visuals have a visual name and display name. When you use the Save As option for a shared visual gallery visual, you affect the visual name. Composer makes a copy of the visual in the visual gallery. The original visual is replaced with the newly named visual if you save a visual with a new name while editing a dashboard.

Note: To change the display name of a visual, see Visual Names and Display Names.
Action Description
Save As in the Visual Gallery

Open a visual in the visual gallery, select Save As, provide a new name, and Save your changes.

  • If there are no changes in the visual from a previous save, Composer adds a copy of the visual with the new name to the visual gallery.
  • If there are unsaved changes in the visual after a previous save, Composer adds a copy of the visual with the new name and the changes to the visual gallery.
Note: You can also add a searchable Visual Description for this visual.
Save As in a dashboard

Select a visual in the dashboard, select Save As from the visual drop-down menu, provide a new name, and Save your changes. Composer adds a copy of the visual with the new name to the visual gallery. The visual in the dashboard is replaced by the new visual.
Note: You can create a local visual by selecting the Copy option for a shared visual using visual drop-down menu. See Copy Visuals.
Note: To save visuals with a new visual name in the Visual Gallery, you must be logged in as an administrator or as a user with the Create Visuals or Administer Visuals group privilege.
