Modifying the Width of the Side-Label Navigation Panel

To modify the width of the side-label navigation panel, the design guides require change to accommodate the adjusted width.

*  To change the design guides to adapt to the width of the side-label navigation panel:

  1. Use the dashboard from the Editing Frame Prototypes procedure, and press Ctrl+D to enter Design mode.

  2. Select View, then Zoom to 50%.

    The design guides are carefully layered to be accessible for selection, and are described, from back-to-front, in Table 15.

    The shapes at the back protrude from the bottom or to the right so they can be selected. After dragging a chart, pivot, or table onto the dashboard, select a design guide object and align it to the left or right, or make it identical in height and width.

    The image shows sample design guides and is explained above and below the image.

  8. Press Ctrl+D to exit Design mode.

  9. Save the dashboard.

    The side-label navigation panel width is extended.
