Change Layout - Dashboards

oana5 — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:00:25 GMT

Hello everyone,

Does everyone know if we can create our own layout style, when creating dashboards in Performance Analytics?

I was trying to represent data in different forms and I am not allowed.

Many thanks and best regards,

Oana

Take a look at this video that covers the Responsive Canvas in Helsinki Performance Analytics | Create a Responsive Canvas Dashboard With Filters - YouTube

You have a couple of options. Dan points out the Responsive Canvas that comes with Performance Analytics Premium in Helsinki. That will let you drag and resize anything on the page.

If you are using the out of the box dashboards or dashboards created prior to Helsinki, the layouts are controlled by the Content Management System. You will need to understand some basic HTML Table Layout but they should be pretty easy to figure out.

Application Menu: Content Management

Module: Layouts

Here is an example of a layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</j:jelly>

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, for the moment I am using Performance Analytics - Geneva version. Do you happen to know what can be done in this case?

Best regards,

Oana

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply. For the moment, I am using Geneva version and I was not sure how can I modify the dimensions and positions of widgets in the dashboards.

Best regards,

Oana

You will either have to modify the HTML and CSS of an existing layout as Paul mentioned or you will have to create your own layout. You define the size of the widgets by defining the size of the "dropzones" in your HTML markup. The widgets will fill up the space of those "dropzones".
