Container

Introduction

Feature(s)

A container can be viewed as a canvas. You can put multiple charts and components into a container and arrange them as a whole.

Application Scenario(s)

In the case of data analysis, you need to arrange charts of the same type together and analyze them.

For example, put the charts concerning sales metrics in one container to check and manage them.

Preview

The data related to the sales presentation will be displayed in a container.

Setting Procedure

You have to prepare form data in advance.

Note:

All dashboards in apps allow using containers.

Creating a Dashboard

Create a dashboard.

Creating a Container

On the Design page, click Container to add a container:

Setting the Container

1. Rename the container.

After adding a container, rename it according to business needs.

2. Hide/display the container.

The title of the container can be hidden.

Multiple Tabs

1. Enable multiple tabs.

On the container editing page, enable Tabs to add multiple tabs. Multiple charts can be placed in each tab, which is equivalent to the combination of multiple containers.

Note:

After enabling Tabs, ten tabs can be added to a container at most and two tabs at least.

2. Set the automatic pagination.

In a container, after enabling Tabs, enable Auto Pagination and set Interval.

The effect of Auto Pagination is shown in the following figure.

Add Chart(s)/Component(s)

Add required charts/components to the container. You can either create a chart/component directly and drag it into the container, or add the existing chart/component to it.

Note(s)

1. You can edit and delete a container, but cannot copy it.

2. If a container is empty, it can be deleted. If not, you need to delete or hide the charts/components in the container before deleting the container.

3. A container itself does not allow hiding, but the charts in the container allows. For details, see Hiding a Chart/Component.

4. The charts/components added to the container do not allow dragging out the container directly. You need to select the charts/components and click to replace the container.

7. Up to 100 charts/components can be added to one dashboard. This also applies to a container.

8. Up to ten tabs can be set in a container.
