Dashboards –– Protected View

Wayne Olson

I would love to see, as I'm sure others would, a "Protected View" option for dashboards.

This is important for not only preventing others from modifying a dashboard but in particular for better usability. When using dashboards on a touch screen device, the narrow margins between widgets and the outer perimeter of the dashboard viewport, combined with the necessity of having to touch the screen to scroll, make it

very

easy to inadvertently move or resize a widget when attempting to scroll.

Freeze dashboard view so widgets cannot be dragged

Jess Choi

When working with portfolio widgets, we are finding that they often get accidentally dragged out of order. Is there a way to lock a dashboard view (widgets cannot be moved) so that this does not happen?

Protected views would make these much more functional as people could add/change filters for their own one time usage without throwing off the defaults that the admin created wants set.

Thanks for the feedback on this one. While we added the Edit mode, we do acknowledge that protected view (which is inline with our docs/views) would be a further enhancement. Marking this open

I use my dashboard for tasks that have to be completed by volunteers who know nothing about ClickUp except how to mark a task complete. Invariably one of them manages to click on the very narrow bar at the top of the task which takes them away from the dashboard to the actual task list which is not filtered and so looks very different from what they are use to seeing on the Dashboard. And of course they have no idea how to get back to the dashboard. Extremely annoying!!. I need those links at the top of the task to be "frozen" if the task is in the dashboard view! Please!!

Hey everyone! We have added View/Edit Mode to Dashboards to prevent accidental changes!

Matt Keller

Nick Potok: this is great!

Bob Mandel

Nick Potok: This is not enough to prevent some numbskull from going into edit mode and screwing up the dashboard. I am befuddled why the same functions for views are not available for dashboards, including editing of fields without having to go into the actual task.

This feature is needed ASAP so the dashboards are not modified by employees who only need view access

Matt Tungate

Totally agreed. This seems a pretty obvious need.

Megan Arnold

Agreed! This platform doesn't really work for us without the protected view.

Morgan Arnold

I know my company would benefit from a protected view!

Rhonda Jones

I completely agree - we need a protected view option.
