Align Elements

This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports

As you drag or resize an element, contextual guidelines (dotted lines) appear to help you align with other elements. When your element snaps into alignment with another, the line turns red and the relevant boundaries appear.

When an element in a body region snaps into alignment with an element in the header region, the contextual guidelines will include magnet icons and the elements become bound to one another. Afterward, moving the element in the header region will also move the element in the body region. Moving the element in the body region will break the bond.

Note: Headers that were added automatically to a header region when adding data are automatically bound to their body region counterpart.

If you want to temporarily disable this snapping, press and hold the ALT key while dragging or resizing your control.

If the snap grid is enabled, your element will also be snapped to the grid while dragging or resizing. If you want to turn off or customize the snap grid, go to the status bar and click the grid & magnet icon with the description Disable snap grid or customize its size.
