Yellowfin dashboards provide support for multiple types of content objects including reports, filters, interactive buttons, images, text, shapes and icons, along with support for custom coded widgets to incorporate any functionality directly into the dashboard.

Hi Nishant,

The specific feature that would be really useful is alignment of objects. So in Powerpoint we can select text/objects/graphs, and align it like this:

We're not seeing any menu to achieve this within Yellowfin Dashboards

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the response,

We have replicated this and found something similar to this.

Above we have recreated this and to align an object we can also use size and location option where we can change Width and Height manually.

However, we can also align it by selecting an object border. Also, to get the share properties, we need to select particular object then we can do the changes as required.

Hi Nishant,

Needing to manually set the location works but it is quite tedious and troublesome to calculate the correct numbers for each position, especially if we have many things to align. As well, alignment seems to be a standard feature in other software we are using, so it's surprising that Yellowfin doesn't support it.

Can we request this feature? To have Align Left, Align Center, etc. buttons. Thanks.

Hi Nishant,

Oh great I think that's exactly what we need! Is it possible to put a request to get this added to the Shape Properties menu? It is confusing that this is only visible when right-clicking and can't find it otherwise.

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the quick response,

I've logged this as an Idea for an Enhancement Request. Before becoming a request, ideas will be reviewed by our Product Team and chosen for Enhancements based on feasibility, level of positive impact to the user experience, and votes from the community. This post will be updated with any future information relevant to this process.
