Solved: Re: Checkbox horizontal Value alignment

ronpestler1 · ‎07-25-2017

Hello together,

i created a dashboard with simple-xml and want a checkbox in top of my other input fields to negate the searches.
For my actually working example i must also hide the first value from the checkbox, this works actually with the solution which i found.
Actually i use Splunk 6.5.3.

Here is a snippet from my simple xml example:

  <row>
    <panel>
      <input type="checkbox" token="input_checkbox" searchWhenChanged="true" id="input_checkbox">
        <label>Checkbox</label>
        <choice value="*">Nothing</choice>
        <choice value="V1">Value1</choice>
        <choice value="V2">Value2</choice>
        <choice value="V3">Value3</choice>
        <delimiter>;</delimiter>
        <default>*</default>
        <initialValue>*</initialValue>
      </input>
    </panel>
  </row>

My actuall dashboard.css looks like this:

div[id="input_checkbox"] {
width: 100% !important;
}

div[id="input_checkbox"]>div>div>div>div:nth-child(1) {
    display:none;
}

But i dont know how i can bring the values horizontal.
Can anybody please help in that case?

Apply the following CSS Style to your dashboard with checkboxes.

   <row>
     <html depends="$alwaysHideCSSStyle$">
       <style>
        .control.shared-controls-syntheticcheckboxcontrol.control-default{
          display: inline-block !important;
        }
        #input_checkbox{
          width: 200% !important;
        }
       </style>
     </html>
   </row>

PS: I have increased width of input panel to 200% to accommodate more options horizontally. If options wrap to the next row, you would need to increase it further.

Splunk 7.1.x onwards CSS Selectors for inputs have changed. Refer to answer by @vnravikumar and also the one that I have extended for all Splunk inputs for the right CSS selector. (PS: CSS property will remain the same, just the selectors have changed)

Old thread, but if someone stumbles upon this:

You have to id the element the css is applied to:

<input id="input_checkbox" type="checkbox" token="tk_columns">

hi, having the same problem.
Not good with css.
So i added the id, i tried this:

  <title>Bagging by Region</title>
  <input id="region_id" type="checkbox" token="region" >
    <label>Select Region</label>
    <choice value="sum(AM) as &quot;AM&quot;">AM</choice>
    <choice value="sum(AP) as &quot;AP&quot;">AP</choice>
    <choice value="sum(CN) as &quot;CN&quot;">CN</choice>
    <choice value="sum(EU) as &quot;EU&quot;">EU</choice>
    <choice value="sum(SB) as &quot;SB&quot;">SB</choice>
    <choice value="sum(ME) as &quot;ME&quot;">ME</choice>
    <delimiter>,</delimiter>
  </input>
  <html>
    <style>
      .control.shared-controls-syntheticcheckboxcontrol.control-default{
      display: inline-block !important;
      }
      region_id{
       width:auto !important;
      }
    </style>
  </html>
