Customizing the Dashboard Layout
By default; widgets are arranged in a dashboard one underneath the other. When you add a new widget; it is added to the bottom of the dashboard. Drag a widget by selecting the widget's title and moving the widget to the relevant location.
You can rearrange the order of the widgets; reorganize the widgets in columns; add/remove widgets from columns; and resize columns/widgets. To be able to do that; you need designer rights to the dashboard. Also; make sure your dashboard is in Layout mode.
Layout mode and View Mode
A dashboard can be viewed in either Layout mode or in View mode.
Layout Mode
Layout mode is the default mode in which you can add new widgets and rearrange them on the dashboard; as described throughout this section.

Dashboard's color palette
You can change the entire color scheme of your dashboard by picking one of many available color palettes. Click the Paint Brush and select an option.
When you change the color of an individual widget to a color that is not in one of the palette colors; the new color will be applied to the widget regardless of the applied palette.
Dashboard title
Text widgets are very handy for optimizing dashboards and guiding the viewers attention. To add a title; click the Text icon.
A text widget will be added to the bottom of your dashboard.
As soon as you start typing; a formatting panel appears.
Dashboard columns
The dashboard can also be organized in columns. By default; a dashboard is created with a single column; but you can add up to four columns. Each column can contain multiple widgets; but a widget cannot span more than one column.
