Editing the layout of a Liveboard lets you snap visualizations into place, choose between set visualization sizes, and reset your layout.

Note: Starting in December 2021, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards. For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention.

Visualizations within a Liveboard are easy to move around and snap into place on a relative flow layout. Your Liveboard layout is also responsive to your browser resolution. This helps keep the layout of your Liveboard neat and organized.

Reorder the visualization

In addition, the size picker at the bottom of a visualization’s three-dot Actions menu lets you toggle between predetermined sizes for each visualization. Charts and graphs can be toggled between a small, medium, and full width size, while headlines can be only one size (small). One row of the Liveboard can hold a predetermined number of visualizations of each size.

1. Click Liveboards, on the top navigation bar.

   

2. On the Liveboards page, click the Liveboard you would like to edit.

3. Drag and drop your visualizations on the layout grid to reorder your Liveboard. Resize a visualization by choosing a predetermined size under the ellipses icon for the visualization.

   

4. Save your Liveboard by clicking the ellipses icon and selecting Save.
