Working with Widget Groups

You can group the widgets on a dashboard together into widget groups. A group can contain adjacent widgets located within the same section.

TIP: You must create a widget group first, and then add the widgets to it. You cannot group widgets after they are already created. So, it is best to plan your dashboard before you begin.

You can only add a widget group to an empty section. You add the widgets to it afterward. Also, you can only add widget groups to dashboards that you have created. Shared dashboards created by another user are view-only.

To add a widget group:

  1. In the Navigation Panel, clicktap The dashboards icon. Dashboards. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Panel to expand it.

  2. ClickTap the dashboard name.

  3. Toggle Edit mode On.

  4. Put focus on an empty section in the dashboard panel and clicktap Add Group.

  5. ClickTap Edit Group's Widgets.

  6. Split the group into sections - one for each of the widgets you want to add to it. For instructions on working with sections, see Working with Layouts.

  7. Add the widgets and customize them, if you choose. For instructions on adding widgets, see Adding Widgets.

  8. When you are finished, click Stop Editing Group.

 

After you have created a widget group, you can add certain details to it, such as titles and colors. You can only edit groups on dashboards that you have created. Shared dashboards created by another user are view-only.

NOTE: For the purpose of editing it, a widget group is considered a single widget.

To edit a widget group:

  1. In the Navigation Panel, clicktap The dashboards icon. Dashboards. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Panel to expand it.

  2. ClickTap the dashboard name.

  3. Toggle Edit mode On.

  4. Put focus on the section in the dashboard that contains the widget group and clicktap Edit Widget.

  5. Toggle Color Theme to "custom" to set a color for this widget group instead of using what was set for the dashboard. Then, select a color.

    NOTE: This will override the color theme set for the dashboard. For more information, see Working with Dashboards.

  6. Under the Layout Tab, toggle Header to "show" if you want to add titles to the widget group. They will be displayed at the top of the section the widget group is in.

    1. Type a Title for the widget group.

    2. Type a Subtitle for the widget group, if desired.

  7. When you are finished, click Save.

 

You can only work with widget groups on dashboards that you have created. Shared dashboards created by another user are view-only.

To edit the widgets in a widget group:

  1. In the Navigation Panel, clicktap The dashboards icon. Dashboards. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Panel to expand it.

  2. ClickTap the dashboard name.

  3. Toggle Edit mode On.

  4. Put focus on the section in the dashboard that contains the widget group and clicktap Edit Group's Widgets.

  5. If you need to add more widgets, split the group into sections - one for each of the widgets you want to add to it. For instructions on working with sections, see Working with Layouts.

  6. Add, edit, and customize the widgets. For instructions, see Working with Widgets.

  7. When you are finished, click Stop Editing Group.
