How to change the data source of a dashboard graph

Let's take the graph “My pipeline – actual amount” as an example. 

• As a sales rep, you may only want to see your own sales in the tile. In this case, you can change the data source to “Me”.
• However, as a sales manager you need an overview of your sales team’s pipeline. To get that, you can change your graph to use the data source “My team” (or “All sales”).

Copy or edit your graph

When you want to change the data source of a graph, keep in mind that there are two ways you can make your graphs more relevant:

1. You can simply edit the graph, and this means you change the data source shown to all users.
2. Or, you can make a copy of the graph and then change the data source. This way you don’t change the existing graph for other users. When you make a copy of a graph, remember to change the name of the graph to separate it from the one you copyied.  

Learn how to change the data source

Follow these steps to change the data source of a graph to show more relevant information:

1. Go to Dashboard, and select the graph you wish to edit.
2. Click on the Task button and choose Edit.
3. The warning menu will explain that any changes you make will affect all users. You have to decide whether you want to Copy or Edit the graph. We advise you to copy the graph and create a new personal graph. The following steps are the same, whichever choice you make.
