Dashboard gauges get a lot of haters - but I think it's undeserved. Here's some tips I have for helping users understand how objects are related.  In my Planning Your Dashboard post, I talk about how to plan your KPIs and supporting information.  In the post, I show how I used horizontal containers to control the layout - here's specifically what I did.

I had already built the objects - which actually made this a more difficult task.

 

  1. Start a new section and add 2 horizontal containers.
  2. In one of the containers, change the background color and set transparency around 70%.

  3. Duplicate the container with the color and move it to the bottom.

  4. Return to your other tab, right-click the objects and move to the new section.

  5. Then drag the objects into the container.  Yeah ... time for happy feet.
