Dashboard pane

Here's a screenshot of the Dashboard pane:

On this pane, the part you'll use the most is Sheets. Here, you'll find all the different Worksheets in your Workbook, as long as they are not hidden (you understand, now, why giving a meaningful name to each of them is crucial).

A second—more important than you think—useful option is Size. Here you can set the size of your Dashboard to fixed (with a list of standard sizes and also the option to set the height and width manually), automatic (the Dashboard will resize to fit the screen), or range with a minimum and maximum range. 

Automatic may seem to be the best option, but it is probably the worst. The ratio between height and width is critical in data visualization, and in automatic you have no control. A bad ratio can lead your Dashboard to look very bad, even unusable. My advice is to go with fixed size when you want absolute power over the looks of your visualization, or choose range to allow resizing when the Dashboard will be displayed on many different screen sizes.

You'll also find a button to create a Device Preview and, beneath the list of Worksheets, the different Objects you can add to your Dashboard, and the option to choose between Tiled and Floating. All these essential functionalities will be seen in detail in this chapter. 

To finish, at the very bottom, you can use the checkbox to choose whether to show the Dashboard title. Let's continue with the Layout pane.
