Column Types Overview

• Dec 22, 2020

The Grid dashboard item supports five column types:

• Dimension Column

  Displays grouped values from the bound data item and allows you to provide discrete categorical information.

• Hyperlink Column

  Allows you to display hyperlinks in the Grid dashboard item.

• Measure Column

  Displays summaries calculated against data in the bound data item.

• Delta Column

  Bound to two measures. Calculates summaries for both measures, and displays the difference between these summaries.

• Sparkline Column

  Displays values in the bound data item using sparklines.

When you drop a data item in the Columns section, it automatically determines the column’s type based on the data.
