Dashboard customization options

Status: Idea Submitted

Looking for additional flexibility with how reports/charts are displayed on a dashboard.

Higher resolution dashboard canvas

Currently the dashboard canvas is 6 ‘blocks’ wide. I’d love to see the resolution increase to at least 8 or 10 ‘blocks’ wide with the commensurate increase vertically as well. This will allow for more flexibility in the size of each report and the overall layout of how the reports are layed out together.

Headlines & Text

To use text blocks for section headers or other similar organization of reports, it eats up an entire row of ‘blocks’ on the canvas. The higher fidelity of blocks above may help with this, but the ability to use Headings and Text without eating up a whole line of blocks and eating up precsious real estate is needed.

Number formatting

To aid in readability of dashboards (versus reports) it would help to be able to adjust the formatting of numbers shown on the dashboard, preferably at the data field level within a report. For the example reports shown below: adjusting the display of a number from $$418,488 to $418K or $418.5K etc. the ability to pick the decimal place and format of the number will save a lot of real estate and improve readability for the user.

This would be great! I would like to be able to create sections and headings. Providing a more detailed grid would allow me to use text boxes as headings. When I do it now it takes up way too much space. It would also be great if we could custom color the boxes (instead of the default white background).
