You can combine several widgets into one group. Grouping helps you arrange widgets more easily. A group can consist of several widgets that display charts, for example, as well as widgets that define a header and a footer.
Procedure
Open or create a dashboard.
Move the mouse pointer over a widget to display the icons for configuring the widget group.
Click Add widget on the right side of the group to add placeholders for more widgets, for example,
to display charts.
Click Add widget at the top or bottom of the group to add placeholders for additional widgets in the
group header or footer.
You can replace the placeholders in the group with appropriate widgets. In the header and footer you can insert only text widgets, such as title and text labels, single KPI, and filter widgets.
Example
To assign a data source to a widget within the group, select a widget in the group and configure the data source in the widget's Setup panel.
You can move the widgets within the widget group. Depending on the number of widgets
and their position, you can move widgets to the left (), right (
), down (
), or up (
).
You can configure the layout of the main widget group, header and footer.
Move the mouse pointer over the widget group.
Click Main settings at the right site of the group to specify the layout of the main widget group.
Click Header settings at the top of the group to specify the layout of the group header.
Click Footer settings at the bottom of the group to specify the layout of the group footer.
Specify the group layout. You can select the arrangement of the widgets and specify their number and size.
Example
Layout settings of the main widget group.
To move a widget group on the dashboard, click the widget group, hold down the mouse button, and move the widget to the new location on the dashboard.
You have grouped widgets, assigned data to each widget, and configured the group layout.
Example
A group with three different widgets, a title as header and a single KPI and date filter in the footer.
