Dashboards & Visualizations

When using <row grouping="3,2"> how do I display titles?

Using the following simple dashboard XML:

  <row grouping="3,2">
    <chart>
      <searchName>Search 1</searchName>
      <title>This title is shown</title>
    </chart>
    <chart>
      <searchName>Search 2</searchName>
      <title>This title is NOT shown</title>
    </chart>
    <chart>
      <searchName>Search 3</searchName>
      <title>This title is NOT shown</title>
    </chart>
    <chart>
      <searchName>Search 4</searchName>
      <title>This title is shown</title>
    </chart>
    <chart>
      <searchName>Search 5</searchName>
      <title>This title is NOT shown</title>
    </chart>
  </row>

Only the first title in each group is displayed on the dashboard. The other three are ignored. How do I make the dashboard display all the titles?

I hit this very same problem and found this same question.
In Advanced XML you can add the following just before the viewstateadapter module;

<module name="GenericHeader">
   <param name="label">Group name</param>

And then obviously throw a </module> at the end. This way lets you assign a name for each item within a group 🙂

Sorry this is massively late but since I found this question when encountering the same problem hopefully it will help some others.
