Unified Layout for Dashboards

Previously, SKOOR Dashboards had to choose from one of two “layout engines”. The default “Flex Layout” was focused on optimally flowing content given any screensize, but was limited to row-based layouts. On the other hand, the “Grid Layout” allowed for completely free distribution of tiles on the screen, but lacked the responsiveness that the Flex Layout provided.

In this release, we combined the two approaches, removing the need to choose one layout over the other. The new layout engine is closer to the old Flex Layout. It is still edited using the layout editor in the Edit Dashboard Dialog (we like to call it chocolate bar), but now allows to split the area both vertically and horizontally.

Existing dashboards are migrated automatically. Although we tried very hard to migrate existing layouts correctly, it might happen that dashboards are broken after the upgrade to 7.0. Please contact support in such a case.
