Moving dashboard objects

You can move dashboard objects either within the tab they are currently displayed, or between the tabs in a dashboard.

 

To move dashboard objects within a tab, follow these steps:

 

  1. Select that tab that contains the object you want to move.
  2. Press the Design Dashboard Tab button in the Dashboard Tab in the Edit Dashboard tab.
  3. Press and hold the tab header of the dashboard object you want to move.
  4. Drag the object over the appropriate drag icon (described in detail below).
  5. Release the left mouse button.
  6. Press the Preview Dashboard Tab button in the Dashboard Tab in the Edit Dashboard tab.

 

As you drag the object over the tab, two types of guide icon will appear.

 

Guide icons around the edge of the tab allow you to place the new dashboard object against the left, top, right or bottom edge of the tab.

 

 

When you drag the mouse over an existing object in the dashboard, guide icons appear that allow you to drop the new object to the left, top, right, bottom of the existing object, or stacked on top of the existing object. If objects are stacked, tabs will appear to allow the user to display each object.
