Vertical Stack Panel Dashboard opens up to the last component

Hello, I created some vertical stack panel dashboards but when I run them, they all open on the bottom. Is there something I'm missing on why they're not opening to show the first component I've pu...

    Firstly, I would say to raise a ticket with support to confirm if this is the expected behaviour for Cube Views in a Vertical stack. As far as I can tell there is no easy way to stop it loading at the bottom.

    I did however come across a possible workaround that works on my machine. Firstly if you embed each cube view in it’s own dashboard (layout type Uniform) and then add these embedded dashboards to your Main dashboard (layout type Vertical Stack Panel), then it will load at the bottom of the first cube view (rather than the bottom of all cube views). You then create an empty cube view component with the following settings:

    Embed this is its own dashboard and add that dashboard to the top of your vertical stack panel.

    As I say, I can only say this seems to work from my limited testing. And there is a side effect that it leaves a white bar at the top of the vertical stack. Someone may well have a better way.

    As others have said though, a better solution may be to change the design/layout of your dashboard to used tabs, buttons etc. rather than the long stack panel.

Hi prachtiwari11,

That seems to be the default behavior for vertical stack panel dashboards, however, you can convert that dashboard into a grid type dashboard and get the exact same look and feel but without that unwanted behavior. Please see Krishna post above.

Hello,

I did try to convert my dashboard to Grid but getting the same result. The dashboard is opening to the last component which is not giving me the required results. Any other solution?
