Dashboard Layouts

Any desktop dashboard can use one of two high-level layouts:

  • Dockable dashboards always fit to one screen, arranging windows into several tabbed panels attached to top, bottom, left and right sides of the window
  • Scrollable dashboards have multiple columns with vertically arranged windows

Each dashboard element's window location is interpreted differently for dockable and scrollable dashboards.

Dockable Layout

In the dockable layout, all dashboard's windows are placed on one screen and possibly grouped into tabs. These dockable windows can be managed (closed, moved, re-docked, floated, etc.) as described in Customizing Dockable Windows article.

For dockable layout, all properties of each element's location are interpreted exactly as described in window location section.

Scrollable Layout

Scrollable dashboards place windows one under another, in several columns. If all windows do not fit into the screen, a vertical scroll bar appears.

For scrollable layout, State and Side parameters specified in window location are ignored. Index parameter defines the zero-based index of column to which the window will be added. In each column, windows appear in the same order as in the Dashboard Elements table.
