Dashboard Settings
Open the Dashboard Settings pane to set how the widget is displayed in the dashboard.
In the Size drop-down list, decide how much space the widget should take in the form of columns.
In the Visibility drop-down, set whether the widget should be visible or hidden. You can also define for which specific roles the widget will be shown or not. This setting allows you to customize dashboards for specific user groups that have a certain role.
Visible: The widget is visible for all (default)
Visible for roles: The widget is visible if any of the selected roles matches one of the user's project role
Hidden: The widget is hidden for all
Hidden for roles: The widget is hidden if any of the selected roles matches one of the user's project roleIn the Layout behavior drop-down list, decide how the size of the widget should be adapted in the dashboard.
In the Title field, enter a title for the widget.
For a dynamic title, you can add placeholders with the ${...} notation. Possible placeholder sources are filterParams (if a filter widget exists on the dashboard, e.g. ${filterParams.paramName}) or data from the data source (if source is specified, e.g. ${[0].payload.value}), insights (user context), dashboardName or widgetId.
