While creating the Data Visualizer, can we have an alias name of Data Visualizer name so we can easily manage it with a different dashboard?

Ex.

I have Data Sync data, for that OU and project wise have created a different Data Element and like Data Sync State 1, Data Sync State 2 and many more.

So based Dashboard need for Data Element, I have also created a data visualizer, while creating a Data Visulizer for State 1 , I have selected Data Sync State 1 as Data Element and for Data Visulizer for State 2, I have selected Data Sync State 2.

So now in Dashboard it is showing the name like Data Sync State 1 and Data Sync State 2, actually I want to see Data Sync State only.

So based on Data Element I have also created a data visualizer, while creating a Data Visulizer for State 1 , I have selected Data Sync State 1 as Data Element and for Data Visulizer for State 2, I have selected Data Sync State 2.

Actually Alias name should be there to distinguish it please see the below image,

Hi @kandarpjoshi

When selecting which items you want to appear in the dashboard, you’re using the name that has been used for the favorite (chart in the Data Visualizer app).

Would it be possible to make each chart with a unique name?

Thanks!

Hello @Gassim No not, it is not possible because Data Visulizer name should be unique.
