-## Creating or Modifying Dashboards
-
-The ```dashboards``` directory has the installed dashboards. Adding new dashboards is as simple as dropping new Plotly Dash python files in this directory.
-
-In order to be included in the 311 Data app, a new version of this project needs to be deployed and the report needs to be referenced in the React client header.
-
-### Editing a dashboard locally
-
-The best way to develop new dashboards is by using the development Dash image and mounting a local directory on it. This method requires the least amount of configuration so you can spend you time working on dashboards.
-
-These instructions assume you already have Docker installed and are on a Mac but should be easily transferrable to PC or Linux.
-
-```zsh
-# first make sure you're in the dash directory
-cd server/dash
-
-# get the latest development version of the dash image
-docker pull la311data/dash-poc:dev
-
-# run the dash container with a local volume
-docker run -p 5500:5500 -v "$(pwd)":/app -e PRELOAD=False la311data/dash-poc 
-
-# view a dashboard in your browser
-open http://localhost:5500/dashboards/overview
-
-# to test the mount is working change the title property in this dashboard and reload (JUST REMEMBER TO REVERT YOUR CHANGE!)
-# when you are done just enter Ctl+C in your terminal to stop the server
-```
-
-When you have the dashboard completed, you should follow the standard Git workflow of merging, pushing, and issuing a pull request. Note that there are several pre-commit hooks that will run before you can merge. Once your PR is accepted, your changes will automatically be merged to dev and a new Dash Docker image will be published.

 There is also an optional config setting, `PRELOAD`, which instructs the Dash Report Server to run all the dashboards at startup so that the reports are pre-cached. This should be set to *True* in production environments.
