Deleting a Dashboard Feels Unnecessarily Hard to Find

I'll admit I don't do much with dashboards these days, but I wanted to delete one today and it felt harder to find that option than I expected.

I started out looking at a device and the apps that used it, clicking on the link to open the EZ Dashboard. I then needed to click on the little icon in the bottom left to navigate back to the home page for dashboards (this part is fair enough I guess). From here I needed to click on the icon in the top right to go to the Dashboards setup page. As many steps as this was to get to this point, I was expecting the option to remove a dashboard would have presented itself by now, but could not see one. I remembered from some time ago the inclusion of the Cog Icon in the Devices screen to hide/show different options, so I located that at the top of the screen and clicked it. I then saw the icons for the Device list, Copy and Delete Dashboard.

I've probably over-cooked this a little by describing every little step. I can understand some elements of the separation of features across the different screens involved. I guess my main point is that the Cog icon on the Dashboard setup page to hide and show the three icons including the delete seems a little unnecessary and not entirely intuitive when you are looking for a "delete dashboard" option. I think that either the icons could be displayed all the time on this screen, or the two dashboard screens could be merged into one, where the ability to toggle the "setup" options on/off would then make sense.

Just my 2c...

Just click on "Dashboards" on the main menu and you will see a list of your dashboards. Eash one will have a red trashcan icon on the far right. Just click on that. Done!

That appears like it might be the default behaviour on the mobile version, which I assume you are showing in your screenshot, but the desktop experience does not seem to be that simple, or at least the default setting for inclusion of those options might be to have then turned on...

Odd. I only use the mobile app 99% of the time. Good to know.
