Grid Tools and Design
The Grid dashboard item allows you to customize its layout in various ways. You can
manage the width of grid columns, specify the visibility of column headers, enable cell
merging, etc. To access design tools for the grid, select Grid Tools > Design tab. The
tools are grouped.

• Show Caption: To show or hide the caption of a dashboard item, click the Show
Caption button.

grid.

Style Group
The Grid dashboard item allows you to specify various style settings.
• Grid Lines: The Horizontal Lines and Vertical Lines buttons control grid line
visibility.

the Banded Rows button.

Layout Group
• Column Headers: Use the Column Headers button to toggle column header
visibility.
• Merge Cells: The grid allows you to merge neighboring cells with identical

content on multiple lines if the size of a dashboard item is insufficient to
completely display the cell content on a single line.

select Font, Style, Size, and Effects. Note: The Undo button does not revert the
font back to a previous style.

the grid.
