Dashboard Layout Guidance

Keep the following in mind while choosing a layout for a dashboard:

  • Aim for layouts that adhere to an evenly spaced 3-column or 2-column arrangement of charts. We do not recommend dashboards exceeding three columns.

  • Avoid using multiple scroll bars on a dashboard page. Ideally, place any scrolling components in a panel that touches the bottom of the screen. See the yellow panels in the examples below for the recommended placement of scrolling components.
