Creating and Styling a Group
You can create and style a group in a story.
Context
Creating groups allows you flexibility when creating a page layout.
When a group is selected, it can be treated as a single tile. For example, you could create a
group from two charts and your company logo, and then move the group to a different
location on the canvas. Styling can be applied to the group. You can also move the
group to the front or the back of the canvas.
Note
Groups can overlap other tiles or
groups on the canvas.Styling can still be applied to individual tiles within a group. The alignment, size, and
position of a tile within a group can also be modified.
Note
Groups do not affect
filters.Procedure
