Recommendation for a tool that will assist in documentation of existing Dashboards

[Anonymous]

I am seeking the best method to document exiting Dashboards.  Are there any 2nd party apps that will analyze an existing dashboard and create a report that shows all the background details of the dashboard.

All recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks,

Karen

Hi   @Anonymous ,

After research, there is no app that can meet the demand for the time being.

You can use the following methods to view information about the dashboard:

1. Dashboard Usage Metrics report,  you discover how those dashboards and reports are being used throughout your organization, who's using them, and for what purpose.

2. Audit log search. Enter the Microsoft 365 management center through admin portal-Audit logs-and select Audit-search for dashboard in Activities. View the activity log about dashboard.

3. Set alerts.
