Utilise Drag-and-Drop Dashboard

Drag-and-Drop  dashboards are free-form layouts that allow multiple sized visualisations to appear on the dashboard. Each page of the dashboard can maintain a different layout depending how it is organized and formatted.

Steps

  1. In the selected dashboard, click edit_component_button.png.
    Tip: This is located at the upper right corner of the dashboard.

  2. Enable the Use Drag-and-Drop Layout option.

  3. Click apply_button_green.png.
    The Dashboard Configuration dialog closes and the current dashboard layout is cleared and a blank dashboard.

  4. In the blank dashboard canvas, select the appropriate visualisation from the visualisation ribbon and drag it to the canvas.
    The visualisation loads with the default width and height.

  5. Repeat step 4 until all the visualisations are added to the dashboard.

  6. Arrange the visualisations by clicking on the header dragging the visualisation to the appropriate location on the dashboard.
    Tip: This is how the heading appears when selected for moving.
    Note: Visualisations cannot be dragged off the screen. If dragged to a location that is partly off-screen, the visualisation resizes to fit in the available space.
