When creating dashboard content within Yellowfin you are able to select from multiple layout options, these set a row and column-style layout such as full with column per row or 50% width columns two per row. The flexible option is a canvas dashboard which allows you to create your own layout within the canvas which allows you to have unlimited choice on the layout.
Using Dashboard Canvas, complex designs can be achieved with the ability to freely place a variety of rich content items in any position and to fine-tune the look and feel of those objects.
Good design principles should be followed at all times to ensure that your Dashboard is not only aesthetically pleasing but also conveys the necessary information in the most effective and efficient way for users at all skill levels.
Canvas style dashboards have unlimited flexibility. The Dashboard Canvas provides a WYSIWYG editor so you can quickly see your designs come to life – and a preview mode so you can interact with the draft Dashboard before publishing.
Multiple object types can be included on a Canvas:
Content can be freely manoeuvred – using drag and drop or via the properties editor. Control down to the pixel level (x and y coordinate).
Content can be overlapping and it’s z coordinate position can be manipulated – by sending the object backwards and forwards).

Objects can be grouped together for easier manipulation.
