So in the past I would move tiles one by one to reorganize a layout. This also can be applied for cloning and or deleting tiles. Until a fellow co-worker showed me how to select multiple tiles at once!
If you left click and hold, you can select multiple desired tiles:
In addition to moving this set of tile selections, you can also... Clone them all, or Delete them all. Very useful when you need to adjust a dashboard by dropping everything down a line to allow for a new header or markdown tile.
This is such a simple yet very useful trick that after I was told about it, I said to myself “I can’t believe I didn’t know that!”.

Yes, this tip is one I also use a lot.
If you are navigating through a graph, using the arrows in the graph will be faster than in the time selector:
But normally you would want to refresh to get the latest data. That I sometimes do dragging the graph to the left, which should be faster than the time selector, given fewer XHRs are involved. Unfortunately, it does change the timeframe of the graph, and the details. Seems like a little bug...
Hi here are my tow cents .... 🙂
Try ctrl+shift+f9 with in dynatrace dashboards which will enable you to toggle auto refreshing on and off.
If "writing" about refresh, the rate of refresh is depend on the timeframe shown, as documentation explains:

Here's my tip: if you open the User Menu and click in the "Dynatrace version" text at the bottom, you'll have copied the entire version of your server.
We found a very simple way to manage our users' permissions with Dyntrace SSO. We have approximately 300 active users on Dynatrace and we are able to link the required permissions for each user automatically according to the user's group.
This allowed us to ensure that all new users automatically receive their required permissions.
For each user profile I have (there are 5 in total) I have a group associated with the user in Active Directory.
During the SSO process, I inform Dynatrace of the attribute he will use to match the permissions on the Dynatrace side.
So, automatically, all users who need to access Dynatrace automatically already have a permission set because the attribute is found in their identity in Active Directory, which is the base where my SSO reads their permissions. (IDP).
when we create dashboards with a lot of widgets, it may appear a glitch.
when moving widgets on the dashboard, it may happen that the widget does not want to move and lights up red, although in fact there is a place for it there
I noticed that in the chrome browser, dashboards are perfect built with a zoom of 50 or 25%
I also recommend paying attention to these labels, they help to create dashboards for a high-resolution screen
