For one customer we use this solution which works fine for them:

DATA database which contains the end customer data and is the default mapping

CODE database which contains the cubes (package mapping) and Pivots and Dashboards (^DeepSee.Folder en ^DeepSee.FolderItem global mapping)

IDX database which contains all the other DS stuff (^DeepSee global mapping)

This works fine so far as we can replace the end-customer data easily and keep it seperate, and we can also update a new batch of cubes and dashboards easily by replacing the CODE database with a new version. IDX can be rebuild by compiling/building the cubes so that’s easy too.

This works fine because currently they create all dashboard for their customers.

We foresee that some end customers need some custom pivot/dashboards, which we then would like to map to a 4th database; we don’t want it in CODE because we want to keep that the same at all end-customers. Maybe we  should we do a subscript type mapping of ^DeepSee.Folder(Item), and is that sustainable among Cache versions? I have not looked into it further as both their DS customers are happy with the current solution and don't create any dashboards or pivots themselves.
