Dashboard Studio - changing layout modes

[Elupt01]

Hello,

I set up a dashboard with ABSOLUTE mode but want to change it to GRID mode. Is that possible? 

I am asking because I created a bunch of tables (6) and only 3 of them are showing at the top. The ones at the bottom aren't. I think it has to do with a GRID line around the top 3 and the bottom 3 aren't in that grid line. I need to be able to show all 6 tables. Any help?

You might be able to change the layout type in the code. However, the coordinates and other configuration parameters need to be adjusted based on the dimensions.

Make a clone/copy of the dashboard to try so that original dashboards are not affected

"layout": {
        "type": "grid",
        "options": {
            "width": 1440,
            "height": 960
        },

Having said that, absolute layout type gives you lot of flexibility .

In your case, why cant you add all the tables into the canvas? The size of the canvas can be changes as you might have already explored.

If you could share the dashboard code, probably we get a better idea about the actual situation.

that is the main problem. The current panel/section won't let me make it bigger so i can add the other sections to it ... So I have 6 tables ... 3 tables only show because the 3 others are under the selection and I haven't been able to figure out how to make the selection bigger so i can add the 3 others.

By selection, if you meant the canvas, it can be adjusted by changing

Or directly in the code

"layout": {
		"type": "absolute",
		"options": {
			"width": 1440,
			"height": 960
		},
		"structure": [],
		"globalInputs": [
			"input_global_trp"
		]
	},
