Item Resizing

End-users can click and drag a separator line between items to resize them.

Maximize and Restore Item

End-users can expand any dashboard item into the entire dashboard size to examine data in greater detail.

• To maximize a dashboard item, click the Maximize button in the dashboard item caption.

• To maximize an item using the API, set the MaximizedDashboardItemName to the name of the dashboard item.

• To restore the item size, click the Restore button.

• To restore the item size using the API, set the MaximizedDashboardItemName to null.

You can prevent a user from maximizing an item by setting the AllowMaximizeDashboardItems property to false. This setting hides the Maximize item buttons for all items.
