Introduction

Elixir Dashboard Designer provides a hierarchy of views to control the layout of content. The topmost view is the Card. There may be many cards in a dashboard, but only one card is visible at a time and switches between cards can be done either manually, using the combo box on the titlebar, or based on actions. For example, a double-click on a chart could switch to a card that contains a breakdown of the information in that chart.

Within a card, there may be two kinds of view. One kind is split views, which divide the available space amongst their children, and the other kind is content views, which render content such as a chart or table.
