Arrange the Visualizations in the Workspace

Move the Position of a Visualization

To move a visualization, drag the title bar of the visualization to the location where you want to place the visualization.

When you drag a visualization onto another visualization, the placement of the visualization is determined by the edge that is closest to the drop point.

For example: Your workspace contains two visualizations named “A” and “B”. If you drag A to the left edge of B, then A is placed to the left of visualization B. If you drag A to the bottom edge of B, then A is placed below B.

Example Layout with Four Visualizations shows an example layout with four visualizations.

When your workspace contains visualization in multiple rows, if you drag to the bottom or top edge of a visualization then the target visualization and the moved visualization split the space that was previously occupied by the target visualization.
