Hi guys,

Embedding questions in dashboards is very nice to "clean" collections.

However, there are a couple of cases / features that are not super easy to understand / operate, but I guess we missed something and advices are welcome.

Questions with additional series : how can I attach a question to the dashboard, use it as an additionnal serie in another question already attached to the dashboard, but without displaying the additonal serie question as a standalone question it in the dashboard ?

  • Only option I see would be to Remove and trash. I have the feeling there is something missing there.
  • If I do "prepare" my question with all series prior to attaching to the dash, OK. But if I want to add new series ? Shall I move my root question out of the dash, then add additional series and attach it back ?
  • After some testing, I notice that if I do remove the root question, then other question used as series look to be totally disappearing - as they cannot be found in the trash neither found anywhere, even through Search. As well, unchecking a question in the additional series list gets the related question to be MIA - it can't be found anywhere.
  • Does it mean that, in this case, we shouldn't attach questions used for additional series to the dashboard, and keep those in a collection ?

Remove and trash action when editing : maybe it would be better to be able to, as well, Remove and move to collection ?

Thanks.
