Container is used to hold multiple components within fixed boundary. As that holds multiple components together, implementing dynamic visibility for the entire block is also easier if we use container. Background and Rectangles are normally used to create attractive backgrounds for the components.

Hi Arijit,

After experimenting I found that Dynamic Visibility is also possible without using 'Container'. Can u please explain me again that what exactly is 'Container' used for.

Hello Ranendra,

Containers are to hold components which hold similar behaviour during the runtime.

For example if we want to show a column chart, line chart, pie chart and some selector which are inter related with each other and even we have other components which will be triggered with different event or action during the runtime in such scenarios instead of giving DV (Dynamic Visbility ) to each and every compnent simply we keep all these components in the container and to that particular container we assign the DV.

Even you can conisder this container as a standard template.

Let me know if you need other information about the Dashboards.

Regards,

Anjani Kumar C.A.

I think your doubt regarding container and dynamic visibility has been well answered by Anjani.
