Disable Specific Dashboards For Experimentation

Hi,

Is there a way to disable specific dashboards so that they are not saved during experiment runs? This becomes an issue whenever I have a large quantity of dashboards that are not all needed and it becomes slow to generate an excel report. But, I still want to save certain ones so a blanket dashboard disable wouldn't be ideal.

Thanks!

The best way is to disable the underlying Statistics Collector or Calculated Table for each chart on the dashboard. This may require you to "install" the chart. If the Advanced panel in the Properties window as an Install button, you'll need to click that button. Then click off and on the chart again to refresh the properties panel.

The chart should now have a Data panel, and that should point at a Statistics Collector or Calculated table. You can find the object in the toolbox and uncheck its "Enabled" box. This way, when the Experiment runs, that chart won't gather any data. This means that the Excel export will be faster, as the data isn't present.
