When to duplicate a Databoard

There are a few reasons why you might want to duplicate a Databoard:

  • Store a copy of a Databoard before making changes to it
  • Use the same general report to view data from multiple Accounts 

    For example, you may have 3 Google Analytics Accounts that you want to create the same report for. You can duplicate the Databoard and repopulate it with data from another of your connected Google Analytics Accounts to efficiently built out these reports. 
  • Use the same general report to view data from multiple Data Sources

    For example, let's say you created a Google Ads Campaign Performance Databoard for your company, and your next task is to create a Facebook Ads Campaign Performance Databoard. To do this, you can duplicate the Google Ads Databoard and use the Designer to update each Datablock to pull data from your connected Facebook Ads Data Source. Not only will this help you efficiently build your Campaign Performance reports, but it also allows you to consolidate how many different views your team will need to be comfortable analyzing.
