Layout Manager resizes dashboard sections using best-guess options. It works best with dashboard designs similar to those supplied with Dashboard Studio. If you experience unexpected resize behavior, see Table 8 for troubleshooting tips.
Table 8. Troubleshooting Unexpected Resize Behavior
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Shapes in the resizable area do not shrink and grow as the screen area changes. | The layout guide may be lower or to the right of the top left corner of the shapes. Either reposition the Layout Guide, or move the list of shapes from the Available list to the Resizable Shapes list in the Layout Properties frame. See Repositioning Layout Guides and Configuring Layout Properties. |
| The minimum size of a dashboard content makes it difficult to see. | Increase the size of the layout guide by dragging the bottom right hand corner outwards. See Changing the Minimum Size of Dashboard Sections". |
Clicking  restores a dashboard section to an inappropriate default layout. | Redesign and save a new default layout. See Saving Dashboard Designs as Default". |
| You want to disable resize behavior for some but not all dashboard sections. | Select the dashboards you do not want to resize and use the clear button on the Layout Properties frame. See Disabling Layout Manager". |
| You want to disable resize behavior for the whole document. | Use the Disable Layout Manager check box. See Disabling Layout Manager". |
| You want to have one or more shapes grow in width (or height) only as the window size changes. | Remove the shape from it current list in the Layout Properties frame and add it to the list of Width Extendable Shapes (or Height Extendable Shapes). See Configuring Layout Properties. |
