Hello guys,

I have a dashboard  with two tabs. I've added a dropdown input and I'm going to add more inputs. But I want to display input only for a specific tab. In my case, I want for example the dropdown input to be displayed only when Inventory tab is active.  The dropdown input should disappear when I click Sales tab.

Can anyone help me how to achieve this ? Thanks a lot

Hi @Ombessam 

If you click on your input, then in the panel on the right click the Display dropdown and select "In Canvas"

You can then move it around inside a single tab.

Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
