How to set up object hierarchy in your dashboard

You can display the objects on your dashboard in a tree structure hierarchy, which lets you collapse and expand individual sections as needed. Large dashboards become clearer, with an option to drill down to lower levels.

Set up the hierarchy

  • Open the dashboard setup

    To set up the hierarchy, go to your dashboard settings and open the Dashboard Setup tab.

  • Drag objects into place

    Click the object you want to move (e.g. Paris), drag it to the right or left, and drop it where it is needed.

  • Add objects as a sub-level

    Alternatively, right-click the object and choose Add objects as sub-level.

The initial default setup in the settings is displayed the same way in your dashboard.

Use the hierarchy

  • Expand or collapse an object

    To expand an object in the dashboard view, click the plus symbol next to it. To collapse it, click the minus symbol.

  • Expand or collapse all objects

    To collapse or expand all the objects in your dashboard, use the arrow symbols above the objects.

  • Use the tree in reports

    You can also use the same tree structure in your reports with the Metric Dashboards widget.
