[HELP] Need help on configuring Panel Size and Loc...

Hi, I am using Splunk Dashboard with SimpleXML formatting.

This is my Current Code for my Dashboard.

* Query is masked

* The Structure is defined as it is.

  <row>
    <panel>
      <html depends="$alwaysHideCSS$">
<style>
  #table_ref_base{
    width:50% !important;
    float:left !important;
    height: 800px !important;
  }
  #table_ref_red{
    width:50% !important;
    float:right !important;
    height: 400px !important;
  }
  #table_ref_org{
    width:50% !important;
    float:right !important;
    height: 400px !important;
  }

</style>
    </html>
    </panel>
  </row>

  <row>
    <panel id="table_ref_base">
      <table>
        <title>Signals from Week $tk_chosen_start_wk$ ~ Week $tk_chosen_end_wk$</title>
        <search id="search_ref_base">
          <query></query>
          <earliest>$tk_search_start_week$</earliest>
          <latest>$tk_search_end_week$</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="count">30</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">row</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel id="table_ref_red">
      <table>
        <title> (Red) - Critical/Severe Detected (Division_HQ/PG2/Criteria/Value)</title>
        <search base="search_ref_base">
          <query></query>
        </search>
        <option name="count">5</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel id="table_ref_org">
      <table>
        <title>🟠 (Orange) - High/Warning Detected (Division_HQ/PG2/Criteria/Value)</title>
        <search base="search_ref_base">
          <query></query>
        </search>
        <option name="count">5</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>

However, my dashboard shows up with this picture below. I thought by defining 800px on the left panel and 400px on both right panel would end up like the preferred dashboard page as above(right), but it gave me a result(left):

Here is also the result of my current Dashboard.

As you can see, It also returns me a needless white space below:

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

Chung

Hi @jasuchung,

You can take advantage of Simple XML's automatic positioning of multiple visualizations within a panel for automatic alignment and adjust sizes as needed:

<row>
  <panel>
    <table/>
  </panel>
  <panel>
    <table/>
    <table/>
  </panel>
</row>

<dashboard version="1.1" theme="light">
  <label>panel_layout</label>
  <row depends="$alwaysHideCSS$">
    <html>
      <style>
#table_ref_base {
  height: 800px !important
}
#table_ref_red {
  height: 400px !important
}
#table_ref_org {
  height: 400px !important
}
      </style>
    </html>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table id="table_ref_base">
        <title>table_ref_base</title>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults</query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <table id="table_ref_red">
        <title>table_ref_red</title>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults count=15</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
      <table id="table_ref_org">
        <title>table_ref_org</title>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults</query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Whitespace may still be visible depending on the number of results in the table; however, the tables on the right should be divided evenly within the available vertical space.
