Resize and Move Visualizations – eduCLIMBER

After visualizations have been added to a dashboard, they are automatically added to the bottom of the dashboard. Users may want to relocate and resize visualizations to group related data and display each visualization to the greatest effect. This lesson guides users through manipulating the location and size of visualizations.

Before You Begin

Required Permissions: Access District Achievement Dashboard OR Manage District Achievement Dashboard

This lesson begins assuming a Dashboard has already been created. If one has not been created, take a look at Create a New Dashboard.

Where to Start

eC AD Navigation Edit 7.png

Navigate to the desired dashboard, and locate a visualization to move and/or resize.

Move a Visualization

An example personal dashboard with a visualization with a 6-dot icon showing at the top left-hand corner, labeled as step 1. The visualization is moved slightly away from its original placement, revealing a blue placement preview area underneath.

Hover over a visualization to reveal the 6-dot icon in the top left-hand corner. Hover over the icon until the cursor displays four arrows, then select and drag the visualization to the desired area on the dashboard.
- A blue preview area will display where the visualization will be deposited.
- Surrounding visualizations will automatically shift to accommodate the new visualization placement.

Resize a Visualization

An example personal dashboard with the bottom right-hand corner highlighted and labeled as step 2. The visualization is in the process of being resized, and is overlayed with a blue preview area, displaying how large the visualization will appear.

Hover over the bottom right-hand corner of a visualization until the cursor displays two arrows, and select and drag the corner to resize the visualization.
- A blue preview area will display how large or small the visualization will appear after resizing.
- The visualization data will automatically resize to fit the resized area.

An example visualization with a horizontal scrollbar underneath the data chart, which is highlighted and labeled as step 3.

Visualizations set to display as a column chart with a large amount of data will automatically populate with a horizontal scrollbar to enhance data readability.
- The scrollbar will automatically update as the visualization is resized.

The same example visualization from step 3, but without the horizontal scrollbar, and resized to fit the full width of the dashboard. Much more data appears in the graph than before, appearing visually crowded.

Column chart visualizations with a large amount of data that automatically appear with a horizontal scrollbar will display all data without a scrollbar if resized to fullscreen.
- The visualization Print option will reflect the visualization as it appears on the dashboard, including any included scrollbars. Resize the visualization to fullscreen before printing to capture all included data.
