Prepare a columned dashboard for the container layout

Navigate to the dashboard you'd like to prepare.

Depending on how many widgets are on your dashboard you may need to reorganise them so that they fit a 6x3 or 8x4 layout.

This means if you rearrange your dashboard across 8 columns it must be no more than 4 widgets high, and if it's across 6 columns it must be no more than 3 widgets high.

Note: Depending on the number of widgets you have on your dashboard, reorganising them may require creating additional dashboards. Also, if your dashboard has a large number of widgets and you prefer to view your dashboard on your computer or display it on a TV in portrait mode, you may also decide this isn't for you.

Example: This column dashboard has too many widgets and needs to be reorganized to fit inside a 6x3 and 8x4 layout.

We can do this by copying a dashboard, resizing widgets where needed, and perhaps deleting widgets you don't need anymore. Here's a portion of our widgets rearranged in a 6x3 dashboard:

And the rest in an 8x4 dashboard:

Once you've got your dashboard into a 6x3 or 8x4 layout, get in touch and we'll convert it for you.

When we've converted your dashboard it may needed some additional organising to make the best use of space.
