There was recently a feature request for the ability to export and import dashboard items/dashboards that could be shared as a "template" across different projects and accounts.

Google Analytics has a similar concept where they've created an entire community around sharing/ranking dashboards - https://analytics.google.com/analytics/gallery/#posts/search/

One of our users explaining how they would use this feature.

The idea here is this; many companies measure similar KPI's even if the data powering those KPI's are different (think conversion rate = [conversion] / [impression]. I could use "orders" or "video plays" or "clicks" for that Dashboard that is showing "conversions" by UTM_SOURCE. If someone has already built this report, I can literally download/export/browser -> upload (to my post hog site) and have it all ready to go (and if the values's are miss-matching or not available, i.e. my website doesn't have "video plays", then I can swap out the value. ... Ideally, once you've added a dashboard, you could "share" the dashboard to the community, or not.

Describe the solution you'd like

MVP: Ability to export and import dashboard items. Potential next steps:

• Expand to exporting and importing entire dashboards
• "Templates" for insights or collection of insights that can be shared
• Enable community for sharing and exploring dashboards.
• Starter templates to make onboarding/discovery easier

Describe alternatives you've considered

Recreating insights manually across different projects, which is time consuming and tedious.

Additional context

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

I think an MVP step would be to just export to JSON. This could also open the door for users to build "insights" generators.
