When you configure the Video Overview or Ad Overview dashboards, New Relic saves your settings to your user profile. The next time you return to either dashboard, your configuration is restored so you don't have to start from scratch.
Preferences are saved per user and per dashboard type. Your Video Overview settings never affect your Ad Overview settings, and vice versa.
What gets saved
Preference category | What is saved |
|---|---|
Quality metrics | The set of quality metrics you have selected to display, and the number of metrics shown. |
Per-metric view mode | The visualization mode for each metric, for example, percentage view or number view. |
Quality metrics group-by | The facet (group-by) selected for the video or ad quality metrics widget. |
Dimensions configuration | The selected dimension metric and the selected facets for each dimension panel (excluding the error table). |
KPI performance attribute | The KPI performance attribute selected on the dashboard. |
How preferences are saved
Changes are written asynchronously in the background so the dashboard stays responsive while saving. To reduce unnecessary writes when you make rapid adjustments, saves are briefly batched together.
Saved preferences persist across:
- Browser refreshes
- Logout and login
- Different browsers or devices, as long as you are signed in with the same account
Default behavior
If you have no saved preferences for a dashboard (for example, on your first visit), the dashboard opens with the product default configuration.
Reset to defaults
A Reset to default view control lets you clear your saved preferences and return the dashboard to the original product defaults.
Conseil
Resetting only affects the dashboard you are currently viewing. Resetting Video Overview preferences does not affect your Ad Overview preferences.
Error handling
If preference retrieval fails when the dashboard loads, the dashboard falls back to the product default configuration and displays an error notification. Your workflow is not blocked.
If a preference save fails, the dashboard continues to function normally.
If a previously saved metric, dimension, or facet is no longer available (for example, because it was deprecated), the dashboard substitutes a reasonable default for that setting, such as the first available option, so no widgets are left empty or broken.
