Add a section or group
Add sections and groups to organize content on your dashboards. Sections improve clarity by grouping charts, saving space, and allowing users to expand or collapse content as needed. Groups display correlations between charts and widgets.
Groups and widgets may be placed inside a section, but sections cannot be nested within sections.
To add a section or group on a modern dashboard, select Add To Dashboard, then Section or Group. Add a title to your section or group, and then drag and drop other visualizations on the dashboard into the section or group.
Add a chart
To add a new chart to a dashboard, select Add To Dashboard, then Chart. Select a visualization type from the chart builder in the right modal, and customize the chart. To learn more, see Chart options in the Chart Builder.
