Remove Empty Space at Bottom of Dashboard

Sunil.Mukerjee

I have just redesigned a dashboard that my organization used and got rid of a lot of unused real estate on the page, but now have a lot of empty space at the bottom of the dashboard (see image below).

How can I remove this empty space?

Hi @Sunil.Mukerjee

I hope you're well and safe!

There's an option to consolidate empty space if you right-click on the empty space when you're in edit mode.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Sunil.Mukerjee,

If you go into edit mode on the dashboard and right click in the whitespace, there is an option to Consolidate Empty Space. Sometimes when you do this it moves some of your widgets around, but I find it generally helps with this problem.

Hope this helps 😊

Hi Matthew and Andrée,

Thank you both so much for your quick reply! At first when I tried the Consolidate Empty Space option it did not seem to work. Then what I did was make a copy of my dashboard, and this no longer had the empty space at the bottom. I then went back to my original dashboard and that was also fixed. Weird, but it worked!

Thanks again for your help!

I had the same question, and Consolidate Empty Space does not remove the empty space at the bottom. But I did what Sunil suggested and that worked for me too - thanks for this, Sunil! I don't like to have extra blank pages in the pdf version, so this fixed it. It would be nice if Smartsheet could add the consolidation of empty space at the bottom of the dashboard to that feature also.

I'm glad that did the trick!

I just tried the copy trick again for another dashboard, and it didn't work to remove the empty pdf pages this time. 😕
