How to connect existing dashboard to another app login

Sometimes it may be necessary to connect existing set of widgets, or an existing dashboard or a report section to another application login. For example, you may want to show data from a different Google Analytics account (Facebook Page, Twitter account, SQL database and so on) in a dashboard that you already have. To achieve that, you will need to do the following:

  • Remove existing connection without deleting widgets
  • Locate dashboards or reports that use disconnected widgets
  • Use RECONNECT button to connect new app login
