Working with Dashboard content

The Dashboard editor provides a range of content types you can use to build and organise your Dashboard.

All available content blocks are located in the Content tab within the editor. From here, you can click, hold, and drag blocks onto your Dashboard canvas.

Adding and managing content blocks

Adding a block

  • Drag a content block from the Content tab onto the Dashboard canvas, or

  • Click a content block to add it directly

Once a block is added, the block configuration panel will appear on the right-hand side of the editor.

Configuring a block

When a block is selected, the configuration panel allows you to:

  • Edit the block’s properties (these vary by block type)

  • Duplicate the block

  • Delete the block

To close the configuration panel for the selected block, click the X in the top-right corner of the editor.

Repositioning and organising blocks

  • Move blocks by dragging the reposition icon on the block

  • Duplicate or delete a block using the icons shown on the block itself

  • When a row is selected, use the + buttons above or below it to insert a new row of content

Columns are the foundation of your layout.

  • Each new row contains a Columns block

  • Columns can be configured to have equal or custom widths

Button

Buttons are typically used for navigation or calls to action.

Buttons can link to:

  • A website

  • An email address

  • A phone number

  • An anchor point within the Dashboard

Use the Target setting to choose whether the link opens in the same tab or a new tab.

Dividers create visual separation between content sections.

  • Thickness and colour can be customised

Heading

Headings help structure your content and improve accessibility.

  • Choose from hierarchical levels (H1, H2, H3, etc.)

  • Font sizes can be adjusted to suit your style guide

  • Different display sizes can be set for desktop and mobile

HTML

The HTML block allows you to insert custom HTML directly into your Dashboard.

Image

The Image block allows you to:

  • Upload an image file, or

  • Paste a publicly accessible image URL

Once added, adjust the image width using the slider. Width is measured as a percentage of the column the image sits within.

Menu

The Menu block creates a group of buttons for navigation.

  • Menus can be displayed horizontally or vertically

Text

Text blocks are used for paragraphs and explanatory content.
