Question #: 63
Topic #: 3

You want to create the following dashboard.

The dashboard will contain two sheets that will connect to the same data source. The top sheet will be configured to filter the bottom sheet.

When you click a category on the top sheet, the sheets must resize as shown in the following exhibit.

How should you lay out the objects on the dashboard?

ADrag a horizontal container to the dashboard and add both sheets to the container. Set the Fit to Standard.

BAdd both sheets to the dashboard. Set Fit to Fix width.

CDrag a blank object to the dashboard and add both sheets to the dashboard. Set Fit to Entire view.

DDrag a vertical container to the dashboard and add both sheets to the container. Set Fit to Entire view.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To create the dashboard as shown in the image, you need to use a vertical layout container that will adjust the height of the sheets according to the window size. You also need to set the Fit to Entire view option for both sheets so that they will resize proportionally when you click a category on the top sheet. This way, you can achieve the desired effect of having the bottom sheet expand to fill the space left by the top sheet when it filters out some categories.Reference:

I'm picturing the person who designed this dashboard just sitting back and chuckling, like let's see if they can figure this one out. Well, I'm not falling for it. Option D is the winner!

I think option C) Drag a blank object to the dashboard and add both sheets to the dashboard. Set Fit to Entire view could also work well, as it allows for the entire view to be utilized.

But with option A, the sheets will resize nicely when clicking on a category, just like in the exhibit.

I disagree, I believe option D) Drag a vertical container to the dashboard and add both sheets to the container. Set Fit to Entire view is the way to go.

Option D all the way! The vertical container with Entire view setting is like the perfect recipe for this dashboard. Feels like a no-brainer to me.

This is a tricky one. I think option D is the way to go - a vertical container with both sheets set to Entire view. That way, the sheets will resize properly when the category is clicked.
