Add a Container Widget to Create Sections in the Dashboard

Use a container in a CRM Analytics dashboard to group related widgets. For example, you can use a container widget to create a filter panel on the left side of the dashboard to store all selection-based filter widgets. To distinguish the filter panel from the rest of the dashboard, you can apply a background color and border to the container. When you move this widget, the contained widgets also move while maintaining their spacing and alignment.

You can place any widget inside a container widget, except another container widget.

  1. Drag the container widget to the dashboard canvas.
    An empty container appears.
  2. To change the widget properties, select the widget.

    The Widget panel groups the widget properties into sections. So that you don’t accidentally overlook any properties, expand any collapsed sections.
