• Defining Widget Size: The New UI dashboard has a 12 column grid layout, where the default dimensions are as follows: M: (4 X 4), L: (6 X 6), XL: (9 X 9). Now you can select other dimensions for the Standard Widget Sizes. The options available are (5 X 5), (6 X 6), (9 X 9); (4 X 4), (6 X 6), (8 X 8) and (4 X 4), (5 X 5), (6 X 6).

• You can even land on a particular page/widget just by clicking on its thumbnail icon.
• The Thumbnail Navigation gets updated in real time when you make changes in size or position of a page or widget.

Just by hovering on a page/ widget, you can get all the contextual actions like Invert axis, Toggle Chart/Table, Refresh, Export and others.

Pinning the Chart Legends:

Now, you can pin the Legend bar on the widget’s chart just by clicking the pin icon. It will remain pinned across the sessions unless you unpin it.

Earlier, you had to resize the page/widgets by dragging it to different sizes. But now you can by clicking one of the Size box icon (M, L, and XL) available on the footer of the widget.
