In order to create a Dashboard which contains multiple widgets, it is important to understand how to configure rows, columns, heights, widths and how to add multiple widgets to a single column.

Adding additional rows

In order to add an additional row below the default row, select the + button in the top left hand corner of the default row. This will add a new row directly below.
In order for the rows to correctly display on the Dashboard ensure that each row is set to 50% Height (next to the + and dustbin buttons on each row)
To add additional row's, select the + button on the row to which you want the new row to appear below. If adding multiple rows, ensure that each row is allocated a % Height value and that the culmination of all the row heights % equals 100.

Adding Columns to rows

In order to add additional columns to a row, select the button from the top right hand corner of the row. This will add a column to the row.
In order for the columns to correctly display on the Dashboard ensure each each column is set to 50% Width (next to the Chart button in each column).
To add additional columns to a row select the button from the top right hand corner of the row. additional columns will appear on the row.
If adding multiple columns to a row, ensure that each column is allocated a % Width value and that the total % width of all columns on a single row equals 100%.
