Error at Import Dashboard

Author: Joyce Zhou

Symptom

When importing a Dashboard .xml file, an error occurs reporting ErrorInLine with Arguments: 1, 2. The error should look similar to the example in the image below.

Resolution

This problem arises because there are two ways to import and export Dashboards. The first is to import and export the whole Dashboard, which can be done in the MODELER through the All Dashboards node.

The second is to import and export Dashboard pages. This is done through the Import and Export buttons in the ribbon of the Dashboard editor.

Although both generate .xml files, the query in the files are at different granularity– the first one is organized by Dashboards, whereas the second is by Dashboard pages. As a result, the exported files cannot be used interchangeably.
