Two types of dashboards are produced using Dashboard Studio.
An editable source master (ESM) dashboard contains the code and structures required by Dashboard Studio at build time and by the dashboard at runtime. ESMs are created by default, and can be opened, modified, or enhanced by Dashboard Studio.
A runtime dashboard is a slimmer version of an ESM without build time or development structures. Runtimes are usually deployed to users and cannot be modified or enhanced by Dashboard Studio. Users are given the option to save a runtime version.
