Is it possible to duplicate UI Builder components and how does the repositioning of components work?

Hello,

 

Im new with UI Builder for workspaces, but getting into it piece by piece. What I've been struggling is that the design of a page is not ready when you start building it and adding containers and components. There may be need to reposition components later on. Dragging the components and moving them seem almost always break the page. In a grid container for example moving components horizontally is not working the way expected.

 

A simple example: 

- I have a container which layout type is Grid and there is 3 columns, 1 row. There is container within each column and in the container data visualization component.

- The left most container has say a Donut for cases, center single score for incidents and right most single score for changes (just an example).

- I want to change the position between left most Donut (cases) with right most singe score (changes).

 

Above example leads to situation that some of the components change row (even if I have only one row set) and usually I have to create everything from scratch. Hence I was thinking if moving position is too difficult (and is it even possible), then is it possible to duplicate or copy a component?

 

Instance is in San Diego and the Im building CSM and FSM Configurable Workspace, but learning UI Builder in custom workspaces also.

You can drag and move the components around in the Content window:

Hi, thanks. I think this is something that came with Tokyo, since I tried earlier and was not possible until I upgraded my PDI to Tokyo.
