Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide Designing Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards 2
Notice that the Grid/Graph is formatted with a light grey background fill (the
Backcolor).
These are the default settings of the Blank Dashboard, so you can change
them if necessary. For example, you can change the height of the section,
display additional sections, remove title bars from a Grid/Graph, and so on.
Other predefined dashboard templates provide other common structures for
dashboards, such as four evenly-spaced panel stacks to place contents in, one
panel stack on the left side of the dashboard and two smaller ones on the
right, or a text field across the top of the dashboard for a title bar with a panel
stack below it.
To
create a traditional document rather than a dashboard, use the
Blank Document template.
For information on title bars, see Title bars, page 32. For a description and
an example of a Grid/Graph, see About Visual Insight: Analyses, page 19;
for more detailed examples and procedures to create and format Grid/
Graphs, see the Document Creation Guide. For a detailed description,
examples, and procedures to create panel stacks, see Chapter 3, Layering
Data: Panels and Panel Stacks.
