Currently, if the report widget height is set to display 20 rows without scrolling then when the report has only 10 rows the dashboard displays blank space for remainder of 10 rows. The white space in the dashboard, in this scenario, is often complained by our users.
It will be great if Smartsheet can auto adjust the height of the Report Widget based to the number of rows to display if the number of rows to display is less than the set max rows to display widget size without scrolling.
#SaveTheWhiteSpaceOnDashboard
I 100% agree with this idea as I have both ends of the problem you bring up.
I have a report widget on my dashboard. It is filtered to show each user their assigned tasks. I want it to lengthen (or shorten) to show all their tasks so that there is no need for a scroll bar on long lists, and as Sameer wrote, there's not unneeded whitespace on short lists.
Auto lengthening or shortening based on number of rows needing to be displayed in a widget is part of other dashboard systems like, Tableau's.
I would love to have this, as it would make my life a lot easier. I currently manually size executive reporting and manage 15 dashboards. This takes a lot of time I would love to be using to do other things. For example: we have an active follow up report that lists all of the active follow-up items. When an item closes, it drops off of the report. Thus, the length of the report is constantly changing, which currently results in unnecessary white space.
