Basic principles of sheet swapping

The basic principles are relatively simple. A view on a dashboard collapses when the following occur:

  • At least one field is on rows or columns
  • It is in a horizontal or vertical layout container
  • It does not have a fixed height or width and the layout container is not set to distribute items equally
  • A combination of filters or hiding prevents any marks from being rendered

Additionally, titles and captions do not collapse with the view. However, they can be hidden so that the view collapses entirely.

Next, we’ll explore an example of how sheet swapping can be used in practice.
