Deleting panels from panel stacks

Before you begin

The panel stack is the holder for a group of panels. You must add a panel stack before you can insert more panels (a new panel stack already contains one panel). The panels contain the controls (Grid/Graphs, text fields, and so on) that actually display the data, such as metrics and graphs, that a user sees. For a more detailed description of panels and panel stacks, see Layering data in RS dashboards: Panels and panel stacks. Before deleting panels, you should be familiar with the different parts of a panel stack. See Defining the parts of a panel stack for detailed descriptions.

Panels allow the user to see different predefined views of data in the same document. Panels are contained in a panel stack, a holder for a collection of panels.

Prerequisite

The document must contain multiple panels in the panel stack because you cannot delete the only panel from a panel stack. See Adding panels to a panel stack for directions.

To delete a panel from a panel stack

1. Open the document in the Document Editor. (How?)

2. Right-click the panel stack to modify, point to Panels, and then select Manage. The Panels tab of the Properties dialog box opens.

3. In the list of panels, select the panel to delete.

4. Click Delete.

   • If the deleted panel was the current panel, the panel below the deleted panel becomes the new current panel. To change the current panel, see Steps to choose the panel to display initially: the current panel.

5. Click OK to return to the document.
