Dynamic Dashboard Widget Size
Is it possible to have a Dashboard Widget expand or contract based on the number of rows in a report? I have a number of dashboards that are all the same, but the information varies greatly from report to report. I would like to consolidate white space as much as possible for the ones that only have a little information or expand if there is a lot, without having to customize every single dashboard.

To my knowledge, there's not a way to do this unfortunately. If someone really needs to print a dashboard, can you accommodate that need by providing a high-level view of the report with JUST super high level data, with a click-through to the report that could then be printed as needed? (Recognize also there's a capacity for Reports; they only display 2500 rows at once, so depending on the dataset it might not be a printable report without paging through it.)
Sounds like an interesting business use case! Good luck!

Hi
Set a convenient size for the report maybe rectangular or square size depending on the columns. U can set the maximum number of rows to display such as 150 and make the report scrollable within the dashboard. u can set these settings which I have attached below. This has so solve the issue which you are facing

Unfortunately that doesn't solve my issue. All of the data/text needs to be displayed as it may be printed out. Scrolling is not an option. But this also creates a lot of white space for projects that don't have that much data, requiring manual intervention.

Thanks for the feedback. It really is an interesting issue as there are 2 very similar Dashboards. The first is expanded and 'glitzed' up for display in the presentations. The second is a smaller, print friendly version. Some of our leadership likes to physically write notes during the presentations.
