Customizing dashboard layout

When you have a dashboard with multiple visuals, you might need to resize and reorganize the visuals on the dashboard to work better for your users. In CDP Data Visualization, you can easily change the layout of a dashboard.

By default, visuals are arranged next to one another in the order as you add them to the dashboard. You can reorganize the layout by resizing or moving around the individual widgets on the dashboard.

Open the dashboard in Edit mode.
In the Dashboard Designer top menu bar, click LAYOUT.
The Layout of Dashboard Visuals modal window is displayed.
Widgets provide the following information about visuals:
- Top left color squares represent datasets.
- The title of the visual is displayed at the top of each widget representing a visual.
  note
  If the widget is too small, the title is not fully displayed.
- The snapshots of the actual visuals appear as thumbnails making it easy to identify the individual visuals on the dashboard.
  note
  If the visual has been changed and not saved, the thumbnail shown might be out of date or unavailable. If the thumbnail is unavailable, an icon representing the visual type will be used instead.
Click and drag the widgets to rearrange them on the canvas.
To resize a widget, drag the bottom right corner and set the desired size.
When you are ready, click APPLY LAYOUT.

The dashboard layout is updated.

In this example, you can see how the dashboard layout changes after rearranging the widgets on the laout modal.
