Multi Select Columns in Dashboards

Cory Griffis

Multi Select Column do not appear to be showing up correctly when included in a Dashboard. The dashboard view adds a separate line for each selection, which makes the rows really tall. The first image below is how the column shows up on a report, and the second image is how it shows up on a Dashboard. Has anyone encountered this before? Is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?

Hi @coryg ,

It's expected behaviour for Multi-Select options to be displayed vertically in a Report Widget type (I presume that's what you're using in your dashboard, correct?).

Since the formatting is different in a Report Widget and there are no grey boxes to indicate the different selections, each selection appears on a new line. This is intentional, as otherwise it could look like "ASMEC" is all one selection. Please submit an Enhancement Request to our Product Team if you have suggestions on how this could be updated in the future!

As an alternative, you may want to try publishing your report and inserting it as a Web Content Widget instead, since this will keep the exact same formatting. 

Cheers!

Thank You! You are correct that I was using a Report Widget. Using the Web Content Widget instead gives me what I'm looking for.

Hi @Shreeg

I hope you're well and safe!

You first need to Publish the sheet, and when you do, there's an Embed Code section where you copy the code and paste it into the Web content widget.

Make sense?

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
