# Save a dashboard as a runbook

Dashboards display predefined, user-defined custom dashboards, and templates.

## About this task

Selected default dashboards can be adjusted and saved as a runbook for your own dashboard. The dashboard must have the same storage system, category, and object type as the original.

| NOTE: The following categories cannot be saved as runbooks: Volumes Thin Volumes SAVE Volumes Data Volumes Disks External Disks vVols If a runbook, either default or custom, has charts with mixed categories, you cannot save that dashboard as a runbook. For example, the default Hosts dashboard has the Initiators chart, and so the Save as a Runbook menu item is not available.

To save a dashboard as a runbook:

## Steps

1. Select a storage system.
2. Select Performance > Dashboards.
3. Select one of the default dashboards.
4. Click > Save as Runbook.
   The Save as Runbook dialog box is displayed.
5. Enter a Runbook Name.
6. Click Save.
   The template is saved to the Runbooks folder.
