Widget List

Widget List

The Widget List option is present in the Widget pane, next to Widgets and Format tabs.
The Widget List is used to display the list of plotted widgets on a Dashboard page in a particular sequence. The last plotted widget appears first in the list, while plotted first appears last of the list.
The image below shows that the Column Chart is plotted first and is at position 3 in the Widget List, while the Treemap Chart is plotted last and hence is at position 1.

Notes:

  • If the Dashboard page is blank, you see a No Widgets Plotted message in the Widget List.
  • If you select a widget from the Widget pane, the chart title placeholder appears by default. When you configure and plot the widget, its Title appears in place of the chart title.


The Widget List can be used to perform the following actions.

Highlight a Widget

When you click a widget title in the list, a border appears on the corresponding widget on the Dashboard.

Notes:

  • Highlighting a widget differentiates the selected chart from the non-selected ones visually. It is particularly required if several widgets have identical titles. In this case, we can spotlight one particular widget using this feature.

Change Widget Order

You can drag widget titles and change the order in which they appear in the list. The corresponding effect is observed on the Dashboard. It works as an alternative for the Send to Back and Bring to Front functionality present on widgets.
For example, drag the Sales by Region and Category to the top of the list. On the Dashboard page, it appears on top of the remaining two widgets.

Notes:

  • Even if you change the widget order, their numbering sequence remains the same.
  • The widget list appears even if widgets are spread on a Dashboard page. Thus, even if the widgets are not mapped, you can determine the sequence in which they are plotted.
  • In this case, the drag and move functionality does not affect the widgets since they are neither mapped nor overlapping.

Show/Hide Widgets:

You can hide a widget if it is not required to be displayed on the Dashboard for any reason. For this, hover over the widget title and click the Hide Widget Icon (  ).
The widget gets hidden (disappears) from the Dashboard page. Also, the widget title in the list gets blurred, and a Show Widget Icon (  ) appears next to it.



If you want to view the widget again, click the Show Widget Icon Icon (  ). The widget appears in the same position.
