Resizing Dashboard Widgets

Zoho Reports now allows you to resize the widgets(individual reports that are embedded) in your Dashboard. This helps you have a flexible and better layout for your dashboard.

To resize dashboard widgets:
  • Click the Edit Design button
  • Hover your mouse over the widget borders you want to resize. The cursor changes to a double arrow.
  • Resize the widget's height/width as needed, by dragging its boundaries.
  



 More Sorting Options in Charts

Zoho Reports has added two more Sorting options, to sort values in a column with reference to other column values.  When your chart contains a String or Date column in one axis and Numeric column in the other, you can sort values in the String/Date column based on the numeric data in either ascending or descending order.

New options that have been added are:

Options when Y- axis has numeric column and X- axis has String/Date column:
By Y-value - Ascending: 
Sorts values in x-axis based on Y-values ordered from smallest to largest 
By Y-value - Descending: Sorts values in x-axis based on Y-values ordered from largest to smallest

Options when X-axis has numeric column and Y-axis has String/Date column:
By X-value - Ascending: Sorts values in Y-axis based on X-values ordered from smallest to largest
By X-value - Descending: Sorts values in Y-axis based on X-values ordered from largest to smallest
