Public Preview: Dynamic Dashboards - Tabs, Auto Grid Layout, Context-Aware Editing | Grafana 12.4
Now in public preview, Dynamic dashboards includes new features and a revamped user experience that make it even easier to find the exact insights you need, when you need them.
- Flexible tabs**
- You can now structure your dashboards horizontally, as well as vertically, to organize content for different contexts and user groups.
- Show/hide functionality**
- Show or hide panels, rows, or tabs based on the selected variable or whether the panel returns data, so viewers only see what’s relevant to their use case or context.
- Auto grid layout**
- By setting your row, tab, or dashboard to Auto grid, the panel size will adapt to the space available in the display. You can configure minimum column width, row height, and the maximum number of columns per row to meet your requirements.
- If you prefer setting different panel widths and heights within the same row, you can use the Custom layout option, which is the same as the traditional dashboards grid. Auto grid also enables the show/hide functionality. (To avoid leaving gaps in the dashboard, you must set the layout to auto grid before configuring any show/hide rules.)
- Dashboard content outline**
- You can now quickly discover the content you need in your dashboards through a clickable outline.
- As an editor, click on an element in the outline to scroll to it and select it to make quick changes to the title or description. As a viewer, click on a panel, row, or tab to navigate to it instantly and find the information you’re looking for.
- Side toolbar instead of a second top toolbar**
- To provide additional vertical space, we’ve replaced the second top toolbar with a toolbar on the right side of the screen. This helps both viewers and editors see more information at once. You can find the dashboard content outline and alert rules in the side toolbar, and editors can also access dashboard settings there.
- Context-aware editing from the dashboard**
- Quickly update a panel’s title and description from the dashboard sidebar without entering panel edit mode. This sidebar also lets you quickly edit rows, tabs, and template variables.
