27 Apr 202419 minutes to read

The dashboard layout component is mostly used to represent the data used for monitoring or managing a process. These data or any HTML template can be placed as the content of a panel using the content property. Also, word or phrase that summarize the panel’s content can be added as the header on the top of each panel using the header property of the panel.

The following sample demonstrates how to add content for each panel using the header and content properties of the panels.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { DashboardLayoutModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-layouts'



import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [ DashboardLayoutModule],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    styleUrls: ['./default-style.css'],
    template: `
    <div class="control-section">
        <ejs-dashboardlayout id='defaultLayout' #defaultLayout [columns]='columns' [cellSpacing]='cellSpacing' [panels]='panels'>
        </ejs-dashboardlayout>
    </div>`,
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
    public cellSpacing: number[] = [10, 10];
    public columns: number = 6;
    public panels: any = [{'id':'Panel0', 'sizeX': 1, 'sizeY': 1,'row': 0, 'col': 0, header:'<div>Panel 0</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel1', 'sizeX': 3, 'sizeY': 2,'row': 0, 'col': 1, header:'<div>Panel 1</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel2', 'sizeX': 1, 'sizeY': 3,'row': 0, 'col': 4, header:'<div>Panel 2</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel3', 'sizeX': 1, 'sizeY': 1,'row': 1, 'col': 0, header:'<div>Panel 3</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel4', 'sizeX': 2, 'sizeY': 1,'row': 2, 'col': 0, header:'<div>Panel 4</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel5', 'sizeX': 1, 'sizeY': 1,'row': 2, 'col': 2, header:'<div>Panel 5</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'},
    {'id':'Panel6','sizeX': 1, 'sizeY': 1,'row': 2, 'col': 3, header:'<div>Panel 6</div>', content:'<div class="content">Panel Content<div>'}
    ]
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Placing components as content of panels

In a dashboard, components like the chart, grids, maps, gauge and more . can be used to present a complex data. Such components can be placed as the panel content by assigning the corresponding component element as the content of the panel.

The following sample demonstrates how to add ej2-chart components as the content for each panel in the dashboard layout component.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { DashboardLayoutModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-layouts'
import { ChartAllModule, AccumulationChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [ DashboardLayoutModule, ChartAllModule, AccumulationChartAllModule],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    styleUrls: ['./default-style.css'],
    template: `
        <div class="control-section">
            <ejs-dashboardlayout [columns]="6" #editLayout [cellSpacing]='cellSpacing'>
                <e-panels>
                    <e-panel [sizeX]="3" [sizeY]="2" [row]="0" [col]="0">
                        <ng-template #header>
                            <div>Product usage ratio</div>
                        </ng-template>
                        <ng-template #content>
                            <div id="column">
