Board customizations

You can customize the entire storyboard by adjusting the scale, setting a background color, and adding a border. Analytics+ also provides options like grid lines to streamline your designing experience. Let's navigate to the Properties > Board > Canvas tab and explore the board customization options available in Analytics+.

1. Dimension type

Tailor the dimensions of your dashboard based on its intended display medium (e.g., A4, Desktop, TV, tablet, mobile, etc). Analytics+ supports the layout scaling options shown below:

4. Corner radius

The Corner Radius property allows you to adjust the roundness of the corners of your storyboard. A higher value results in more rounded corners, while a value of 0 creates sharp, square corners. You can set a uniform corner radius with the All option or specify the radius for individual corners with the Custom option.

5. Show grid lines

Gridlines help in maintaining consistent spacing between dashboard components. Gridlines allow for better distribution of content by dividing the dashboard canvas into evenly sized and spaced sections.

6. Show smart guides

Smart guides help align and position dashboard elements. Notice the lines that appear when trying to re-position an element? These smart lines allow us to place elements in the same row or column as other elements in the dashboard.

You cannot resize or reposition existing elements when you lock them. You can still insert and customize new elements.
