Whole-tab widgets

Many Autotask customers use grid widgets and chart widgets of type Table essentially as saved searches. Since they often contain a long list of items, you have the option to create them as whole-tab widgets that take up all available space on the tab. You won't have to drill in or scroll to view up to 100 items.

Both chart and grid whole-tab widgets share the following features:

  • Whole-tab widgets consume the entire width and height of the dashboard area.
  • They will always be the first and only widget on the tab.
  • The Add Widget area will not appear, and the Add Widget and Copy Widget options will be disabled if current tab has a whole-tab widget.
  • Attempting to move a whole-tab widget to another tab that is not empty, or any widget to a tab that contains a whole-tab widget will result in an error.
  • You can select up to 32 columns to be displayed.
  • From the drill-in grid, you can easily return to the widget.
