¶ Dashboard Features
The Dashboard Features outline the powerful tools available to customize and manage your dashboards effectively.
¶ Managing Widget Layout
The dashboard uses Grid Layout, which provides a flexible and interactive grid system for arranging widgets. Each widget on the dashboard is:
- Draggable: Click and drag a widget to reposition it anywhere on the grid.
- Resizable: Use the resize handle (typically at the bottom-right corner of a widget) to adjust its size.
- Responsive: Widgets automatically adjust to fit the dashboard's layout while maintaining their relative positions and sizes.
To rearrange or resize widgets:
- Click the Edit button at the top to enter edit mode.
- Drag a widget to a new position or resize it using the resize handle.
- Once satisfied with the layout, click the Save button to persist the changes.
¶ Editing Dashboard Features
You can customize dashboard settings to control how data is displayed and refreshed. These settings include time selection schemes, auto-refresh intervals, and timezone preferences.
To edit dashboard features:
- Navigate to the main Dashboard page, locate and open the dashboard you want to edit.
- Click the dashboard settings dropdown in the corresponding row.
- Select Edit Dashboard Features from the dropdown menu.

Auto Refresh:
