Edit the Dashboard Layout

To rearrange or delete tiles on a dashboard you own:

  1. Navigate to the Homepage by clicking the Ellevation logo in the top-left corner of any page in Ellevation.
  2. Open the dashboard you want to edit:
    1. Click the name of the dashboard currently displayed in the top-left corner of the page.
    2. Click the My Saved Dashboards tab on the left side of the Load Dashboards window.
    3. Click the dashboard name.
  3. Click the Actions menu in the top-right corner of the dashboard, then select Edit Layout from the dropdown menu.
  4. Make your layout changes:
    • To move a tile: Click and drag the six-dot handle on the left side of the tile, then drop it in a new position.
    • To delete a tile: Click the X in the top-right corner of the tile.
    • To discard all changes: Click Cancel in the top-right corner of the page.
  5. Click Save Layout in the top-right corner to apply your changes.
A dashboard in Edit Layout mode. Each tile shows a six-dot drag handle on its left edge and an X in its top-right corner.

📝 In Edit Layout mode, drag a tile using its six-dot handle, or delete it with the X.

⚠️ Warning

Deleting a tile in Edit Layout mode is immediate. There is no confirmation prompt, so the tile is removed as soon as you click the X. If you remove a tile by mistake, click Cancel instead of Save Layout to discard all of your layout changes and restore the dashboard to its last saved state. 

Deleting a tile does not delete any Student List Views linked to it; those Views remain accessible from the Student List.
