The dashboard area size is another key factor in the appearance of the dashboard. The size of the area is determined by specifying width and height parameters.
- The Fixed Width option creates a dashboard area of the width or height specified (in pixels).
- The Proportional Growth option creates an area that changes in size when the -dashboard is resized.
-
The Fill Container option creates an area that fills the width or height of the container no matter what the size of the dashboard.
When the area is first created, the Fixed Width defaults to 400, and the Fixed Height defaults to 600.
The following steps show how to set the size of a dashboard area.
- Select the Size tab on the Dashboard Area form.
- Select a Width option.
- Fixed Width: Enter a specific size in pixels.
- Proportional Growth: Enter the proportion of the dashboard area width. It covers based on the size of the dashboard. For example, if you set the proportional growth at 0.5 (from 0 to 1), the area will fill half the horizontal space of the dashboard.
- Fill Container: The area will always be the width of the dashboard.
- Select a Height option and specify a value if applicable.
- Fixed Height: Enter a specific size in pixels.
- Proportional Growth: Enter the proportion of the dashboard the area height will cover based on the size of the dashboard. For example, if you set the -proportional growth at 0.5 (from 0 to 1), the area will fill half the vertical space of the dashboard.
- Fill Container: The area will fill the dashboard from the top-left position of the area down to the bottom of the dashboard.
