Dashboards & Visualizations

How can I add a second column to a dashboard menu?

Hi,

I have a Dashboard menu that allows a user to click on whatever dashboard they choose instead of bookmarking URLs (just trying to make it easier on the end user). The trouble is I'm running out of space vertically to add new entries. I have plenty of space horizontally but I'm not sure how to do columns. Below is the current xml/html code (with some attempts at doing columns mixed in). The hope is I can take the below menu items and split them across 2 columns.

<dashboard>
  <label>Dashboard of Dashboards</label>
  <description>Dashboard Menu</description>

  <row>
    <panel>

YOu're keeping every menu item in single <td></td> section, hence they appear under same column/cell. Try something like (adding more <td></td> (cells/columns) in a <tr></tr>(row)

You're adding <td> but in a separate row (<tr>) hence they appear one below each other. To understand html table correctly try this in your dashboard (create a new and try)
