Resizing a component

When building components they can be re-sized from the default window size to better display the information within. When saved, this will be the default size of the component when used to build a dashboard. Once placed on a dashboard, the size of the component can be re-adjusted to fit the dashboard. The default size of the actual component will remain unchanged.

To resize a component:

1.   Click and drag the edge or corner of the component window to the desired size.

The component will automatically adjust the contents to fit once the edge is released. Components can be re-sized within the dashboard builder so it isn't necessary to get the parent component size right at this stage. 

Drilldown components, however, will always display the same size at which they were saved during this stage of the process.

2.   Alternatively, components can be resized using the 'Display Options' Icon.

3.   The dimensions of the component can be set at the bottom of the pop-up screen.

Once this is done, it is possible to Add drilldown components to the new component.
