How to suppress the .xml in the panel view of a Single Value visualization?

[seetharamanss]

Hi ,

I want to make the dashboard view prettier with Single Value trend panel. In the dashboard view, is there any XML option available to suppress .xml showing below? Please advise.

I'm attaching my current dashboard view. Please advise the option for removing the description details showing up in the dashboard view.

That is in the Dashboard examples app and you will not be able to remove it via editing xml. Your best bet is to copy the Source Code section xml code given at the bottom and come out of the Dashboard Example App and go to Search and Reporting app by clicking App: Search&Reporting drop down on top left hand corner of your screen.

Once in this Search and Reporting app, now you can create a new dashboard here, and paste the xml that you had copied to the source of this new dashboard.

That should get rid of that bottom description and xml piece.

Basically, in short, create a new dashboard in some other app rather than "Dashboard Examples App" using below xml which is the source of that dashboard:

Hi,

I created new dashboard in my app. I still have the same problem.

[gokadroid]

Is this new "my app" any ways a copied over version of "Dashboard app"? Can you please try to create this dashboard in "Search and Reporting App" for once. I just created the dashboard in Search and Reporting app and it doesn't show any of the bottom sections.

[seetharamanss]

No.It is not a copy from Dashboard app. I created it in under Search and reporting App and it is showing up properly. I tried creating new dashboard without any panel in the new app. I could see the "Description tab" coming below in my new app. May be something to do with my access for this app.

[gokadroid]

I still think it might be due to the "layout" of your new app which must be same (or at least similar) to the dashboard app. That might be one of the reasons for you to see the similar divisions in your dashboards.

[seetharamanss]

you are correct. by mistake I copied appserver content from sample dashboard app to my app. It is working fine after removing the appserver content from my new app.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @seetharamanss I have this exact same issue. What do you mean by "working fine after removing the appserver content from my new app." ? What do you remove? I have cloned the dashboard to the search and reporting app and the xml disappears, but when i try to move it to the current app it is in .. the xml shows up again.

Thanks.
