Dashboard items layout

The Dashboard Designer provides the capability to arrange and resize dashboard items in various ways, using simple drag-and-drop operations. You can also arrange and resize dashboard items using an API provided by the Dashboard.

Item Resizing

You can resize individual items within a specific layout group (or an entire group) by dragging their edges.

Item Positioning

You can change the position of a dashboard item via drag-and-drop, using one of the following approaches.

• If the caption of the dashboard item is visible, click it and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the item.
• If the caption of the dashboard item is not visible, click the  icon in the top left corner, and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the item.

Depending on the required dashboard item position, a new layout group is created (if required) to maintain the arrangement of items. Thus, the dashboard item can be inserted to the desired area of a new or existing dashboard layout group.

The drag-and-drop indicator shows possible positions for the dashboard item...

...and sequentially displays areas that can be occupied by the dashboard item. The image below illustrates how a dashboard item is dragged.

You cannot move the layout group to a position within its own subtree.
