Using a Card Master

A Card Master provides reuse of a set of views that can then be shared by other cards. You can create a card with a logo, navigation etc. and set it as the Card Master for other cards.

The following example will make it clear.

  1. Create a new dashboard, and drag and drop a Label component on to the default card (Card 1).
  2. Right click the Label and select Properties.
  3. Navigate to the type tab and enter some text for the label - for example, Card Master Example.
