Can you position a text input on a dashboard between vertical stacked panels?

I have 3 panels, top one spans the full width and the bottom 2 split the screen. Is there a way to position a text input field between the top panel and the 2 lower panels. I dont want it to be part of either lower panel

Hi a238574,
without modifying CSS, inputs panels can be inserted only in the top of the form or in one or more panels.
Bye.

Go to Edit - Source and insert <row><panel></panel></row> between the first row and the second row. After this you will be able to drag'n'drop text input field to this new panel - it will be between the top and the 2 lower panels.

This is a good work around. Create an empty panel through the xml/html and then drag the input filter to this panel, visually it still stays between the two rows of panel, upvoted...

Doesn't look like I can do the same with the "Submit" button. Or at least there's not something to grab and drag with it.

@sjbriggs you can use Link Input from Splunk as Submit button with some CSS override and Token handling 🙂
Heck, you can have multiple Submit buttons as well.
