What is the recommended way to create multiple dashboards displaying data from the same search?

Saving the search as a report and using it in multiple dashboards is the recommended approach because it promotes efficiency and consistency in how data is displayed across different dashboards. When you save a search as a report, it allows users to centralize the data processing and logic within that report. This means that any changes made to the report—such as updates to the search query or the way results are formatted—automatically reflect in all dashboards that utilize this report. This not only streamlines maintenance but also ensures that all dashboards display the most current information without needing to manually update each one individually.

Additionally, creating dashboards based on reports optimizes performance, especially in environments with heavy data loads, as the search will run once when the report is generated instead of running multiple times for each dashboard. This way, users can focus on leveraging the insights derived from the data rather than managing multiple duplicate searches across dashboards.
