Hi,
Is there a tool/method to create a template(ndjson) for a dashboard & its visualizations; so that we can replicate the same structure with a different name for another index pattern.
Thanks
Chandrakanth

clone and copy maybe can help you
> **[Dashboard and visualizations | Kibana Guide \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard.html#clone-panels)**

> Add interactive capabilities to your dashboard, such as controls that allow you to apply dashboard-level filters, and drilldowns that allow you to navigate to other dashboards and external websites.

Hi caster
My question is different. I do not want to clone dashboard alone.
I want my **new** visualizations & dashboards to refer new data view.

That is not available yet.
There's some discussion about dashboard templates over this kibana issue where you can track the progress on this feature: [[Dashboard] Layout templates · Issue #124457 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/124457)

Hi Marco,
I am not looking for the empty layouts/templates.
I have already created few dashboards and want to replicate the same structure for another data view

we maybe should consider logging a new enhancement request. question for you: would turning the data view part of panels into a dashboard control satisfy your needs instead? it's a good case to add to: [Kibana: Define variables, e.g. for offset for timelion and Visual Timeseries Builder via GUI · Issue #33927 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/33927) if so

you can clone and then change it, this is faster than creating a new one
