Auto-sizing dashboards
To create dashboards that remain usable and attractive on a variety of screen sizes and resolutions requires design decisions in those dashboards and in Application Studio.
In summary, these are the steps required to create dashboards that resize automatically.
- Auto-sizing
- The property of each dashboard is enabled by default.
- Horizontal and vertical fill in widgets
- You can specify that widgets automatically expand horizontally or vertically to fill the space available to them. If you have created a dashboard, with widgets containing reports that can shrink and grow, change the fill characteristics of the widgets. In many cases, you might want to switch on both the horizontal and vertical fills. But, in some widgets, you might want to change only the vertical or horizontal fill. For example, if the content of a report is primarily horizontal - such as line chart, or a sparkline - you might switch on only the horizontal fill.
- Shrinkage and growth
- In Application Studio, create reports in which one or more columns and rows can grow or shrink.
- Report size
- To ensure that widgets, and the reports they contain, do not become too small, specify a minimum report size in Application Studio.
