Title inside a dasboard

Hi,

I've to create dashborad with two section in it. How should i give title for these sections inside dashboard.
Currently I've used following code for title.

  <module name="SimpleResultsHeader" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Server Health" autoRun="False"> 
      <param name="entityName">results< /param>
      <param name="headerFormat"> < /param>
 < /module> 

I've used above "SimpleResultsHeader" module two times for two titles one at beginning but before "TimeRangePicker" module and one in the middle (i.e inside "TimeRangePicker" module).

But After selecting different time the title which is inside "TimeRangePicker" module shows "None"

alt text

The first title works fine because it is outside "TimeRangePicker" module.

So is there any particular module to use as a Title?

If i removed parameters from the above SimpleResultsHeader module it is giving me error?

Any alternate way to do this?

Typically, in advanced XML, the "group" string is used as a label for the panel.

Try a "StaticContentSample" module, with a "text" attribute (which is HTML) to include a header above your chart collections.


<module name="StaticContentSample" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
<param name="text"><![CDATA[<p>
This dashboard is intended to show the overall status of the
indexers in the Splunk environment.]]>
</param>
...
</module>

I'm not giving title for just one panel. Say there are 10 charts first 5 have something common and next five have something. SO first 5 should have one title and next five should i've another title in other words 2 sections with titles each containing 5 charts

You can probably use the HTML module and just use header tags ()
