Customizing the Dashboard Layout

You can reorder Dashboard portlets by dragging them. You can maximize, minimize, or restore portlets. Minimized portlets are represented by icons in the icon region at the bottom of the Dashboard.

Note:

By default, the Dashboard minimizes the control that has been idle the longest.

When you maximize a portlet, it expands to fill the portlet region and all other open portlets are reduced to icons. When you click the icon for another portlet, the maximized portlet is replaced with the selected portlet.

You can reorder Dashboard portlets by dragging them. The system retains the layout and ordering of the portlet region and the icon region between application sessions.

To customize the layout:

To minimize a portlet, click Minimize.
To maximize a portlet, click Maximize.

All other portlets are then minimized on the bottom of the Dashboard.
To restore a portlet, click the portlet icon at the bottom of the Dashboard, or right-click on the portlet name, and select Restore.
To close a portlet, click Close.
To reposition a portlet, select the title bar, and drag the portlet to another position on the Dashboard.
To change the position of minimized portlets, drag the portlet icons to other positions on the Dashboard.
