BUG widening Dashboards

Just a FIY,

When you have a dashboard with metric widgets, and you choose to widen the layout (which is permanent!) the fontsize is reduced to 10.

I now have 40 metrics that I have to change back to size 12, manually each….

Not really cool!

New…

Old

(yes, I know theyre different) Just using my NON-widened Dash from a different department.)

Any tips on being able to change all metrics in there at once instead of per piece??? :)

It's REALLY annoying to have to do this.

    Hi @MPath, what you are seeing is the contents of the widget scale down or up in size depending on the size of your browser window. A wide canvas dashboard is larger than a standard canvas dashboard so to fit the entire dashboard in screen (current behavior today for both standard and wide), a wide canvas dashboard needs to scale down so that you can see the entire dashboard in the window. A wide canvas dashboard will also scale up to fit on larger screens and monitors which the standard canvas size does not - which is why you would see a lot of wide space when viewing a standard canvas on a larger browser window.

    You can use the in-app zoom feature though to view the dashboard at a different scale. If the dashboard is being viewed on a smaller browser window zooming in may introduce a horizontal scroll bar.

    If you did want to change the font size for multiple widgets at once as opposed to widget by widget, you can multi-select them (drag a box around the desired widgets or hold down command/control and select the widgets), click the pencil icon and then in the edit menu, use 'Widget Styling' to modify the text inside of all selected widgets

    Hope that helps and thanks for the feedback!

    Hi Barak, Thanks for taking your time on this!

    The first part unfortunatly is not the case, here anyway. Both browser is at 100% as is the app-setting. It keeps giving a less sharp image.

    The multiple selectection I have tried befire, and I would always look in the pane that would open AT the selection, not the widget styling in the right 'window'.

    Now I feel really stupid ;) This saves me SO much time now. Thank you, a lot!
