The use of layouts is optional, but they offer a helpful
starting point when creating dashboards.
When creating a dashboard, you can use dashboard layouts
to add predefined regions to the design surface. You can then drag
reports and other content to the regions.
- Click the Home tab.
- Click Layouts to open the layouts
menu.
- Select the layout you want to apply to the dashboard.
The design surface is updated to reflect the layout you
selected.
- To modify the spacing of the dashboard layout you selected,
hover over the spaces between the report areas until the cursor changes
to show direction arrows. You can then drag the borders to the position
you want.
