i have created my umbraco package with two custom dashboards. i used this code.

<Actions> <Action runat="install" alias="addDashboardSection" dashboardAlias="MyDashboardSection"> <section> <areas> <area>content</area> </areas> <tab caption="Dash1"> <control>/App_Plugins/dashboards/SiteDashBoard.html?v=1.0.1</control> </tab> </section> </Action> <Action runat="install" alias="addSchemaSection" dashboardAlias="MySchemaSection"> <section> <areas> <area>content</area> </areas> <tab caption="Dash2"> <control>/App_Plugins/dashboards/SchemaDashBoard.html?v=1.0.1</control> </tab> </section> </Action> </Actions>

Hi Arul

Are you updating the /config/dashboards.config

https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Config/dashboard/index-v7#sample

?

If so I'm not sure you need the <actions><action element: the markup of this config files follows this pattern:
```
<dashBoard>
    <section>
        <areas>
            <area>content</area>
        </areas>
        <tab caption="Welcome">
            <control>/app_plugins/mycustomdashboard/customwelcome.html</control>
        </tab>
    </section>
</dashBoard>
```
regards

ha, sorry Arul totally misread the question...!

Have you tried combining into one action?

eg:
```
    <Action runat="install" alias="addDashboardSection" dashboardAlias="MyDashboardSection">
      <section>
        <areas>
          <area>content</area>
        </areas>
        <tab caption="Dash1">         <control>/App_Plugins/dashboards/SiteDashBoard.html?v=1.0.1</control>
        </tab>
  <tab caption="Dash2">
          <control>/App_Plugins/dashboards/SchemaDashBoard.html?v=1.0.1</control>
        </tab>
      </section>
    </Action>
```
If you have a look here at the implementation:

https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/v7/dev/src/umbraco.cms/businesslogic/Packager/PackageActions/addDashboardSection.cs#L16

I think you can combine all your dashboards into one instruction, which is why only the first may be actioned...

Hi Marc Goodson, Thank you so much. I was fighting with it for the last two days. now it resolved. actually I thought we can use any string as the alias name. now I cleared the alias name. we can use only the inbuilt alias name for this. You are a rock man.

Cheers, Arul Pushpam Murugan
