Use the layout block in dashboards

2 min read
I. Intro
Layout blocks in Base dashboards allow you to better organize your information and create a more intuitive structure. You can move related blocks in and out of layout blocks as needed through drag and drop. For example, you can add sales charts of one region to one layout block and the sales charts of another region in a different layout block for easy comparison.
Note: Charts can be viewed on the mobile app (Lark version 7.32 or above), but adding or editing them isn't supported.
II. Steps
Prerequisite: You need to upgrade to the new version of the dashboard first to use layout blocks.
Add a layout block
  1. Open the base and click Dashboard on the left navigation bar.
  1. At the top, click Add Block and select Layout under Other.

You can also hover over the layout block, click Move Into Layout at the top, and select a block on the dashboard to move it into the layout block.

Note:
  • If the height of the block you need to move into the layout block is higher than that of the layout block, then the height of the layout block will automatically increase to accommodate the taller block.
  • If the width of the block you need to move into the layout block is wider than that of the layout block, then the wider block may be expanded lengthwise.
  • A layout block cannot be moved into another layout block.
Manage a layout block
Hover over the layout component block to bring up a toolbar at the top, where you can duplicate, duplicate to other dashboards, change the background color, and delete the block. The layout block cannot be added to Workplace.
You can also select the block and drag the lower-right corner to adjust the block size or drag the top of the block to move it.

III. FAQs
Why did I fail to duplicate a layout block?
It may be due to one of the following reasons:
  • Network error.
  • No edit permission for the dashboard.
  • The number of blocks after duplicating exceeds the dashboard limit. Note that the blocks in the layout block are counted towards the limit.
Can the layout block be used on the mobile app?
You can only view layout blocks on the mobile app (app version 7.32 required), but cannot add or edit any layout blocks.
