Hello, @dart

Thanks for your response.

You can convert your dashboard to the
advanced XML

I don't quite understand advanced XML. Did you mean switch the ON button and press Edit XML and then paste your example?
I tried to convert your example, but I've got only blank dashboard.
I found one solution: I jast use:

<row grouping="">

statement and it's working, but not as I wanted to. Is your solution similar ?

I think that is the same solution.

You also can't do this via the simple XML.

You can convert your dashboard to the advanced XML, and then change the layoutPanel attributes to place them in groups.

In the example below, 4 charts are in the 1st panel, using layoutPanel like so: layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1_grp1"

<view autoCancelInterval="90" isVisible="true" objectMode="SimpleDashboard" onunloadCancelJobs="true" refresh="-1" template="dashboard.html">
  <label>test</label>
  <module name="AccountBar" layoutPanel="appHeader"/>
  <module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
  <module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">
    <param name="filter">*</param>
    <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
    <param name="maxSize">1</param>
  </module>
  <module name="DashboardTitleBar" layoutPanel="viewHeader"/>
  <module name="Message" layoutPanel="navigationHeader">
    <param name="filter">splunk.search.job</param>
    <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">True</param>
    <param name="maxSize">1</param>
    <param name="level">warn</param>
