Sections

Sections are used for grouping related content on a dashboard, helping organize widgets, provide different levels of detail or compare time ranges.

Sections allow to:

  • Visually separate related widgets by grouping them together.

  • Add a Section Time Selector for comparative analysis between sections.

  • Keep parameters together with linked widgets using Parameter Panels.

  • Keep sections collapsed in the dashboard when not needed to reduce visual clutter.

Create a New Section

  1. Click Edit on top of the dashboard to navigate to Editing dashboard mode.

  2. Click + Add newSection to add a section at the bottom of the dashboard.

  3. Configure the section in the side panel, as follows:

    1. Change the Title by adding a section name (or leave it empty) and add an optional description.

    2. Click the Widgets dropdown to choose widgets and parameter panels to add into the section. Alternatively, directly on the widget that you want to move select Move to section from the three-dot menu, or simply drag it to the section.

    3. Enable/Disable the Collapsed by default checkbox to collapse or open the section.

    4. Add an optional Time selector for shared use by all widgets in the section. The section's time selector will be visible when the dashboard's Shared Time toggle is off. See Section Time Selector for more information.

Limitations

The following limitations are known when using dashboard's sections.

  • Full-Row sections: sections can only take a full row; width adjustment is not supported.

  • Moving widgets: use the widget's options menu or section side panel to move widgets between sections and the main grid; drag-and-drop is not supported.

  • Reordering sections: use the arrows next to the section title; drag-and-drop is not supported.

  • Widget placement: sections are always added at the bottom of the dashboard; you cannot add widgets to the main grid below the sections.
