Looking for a Visual

Hi all,

 

Looking for a simple visual to add to a dashboard. Basically a picture (that the user can choose from wherever), a title and a card. We have developed our own, but would appreciate knowing if it's possible to either find a visual that's available or develop our own (I'm not really a coder but if it's easy enough I might be able to have a shot at it).

 

What we are using across a range of dashboards is like this:

It would be good if we could just choose a picture (either from the web or from our Marketing folder), choose the items in the card and add a title. Currently, reformatting them when a client would like an extra piece of info is quite laborious to re-size perhaps 10 of the same trio and then ensure they all line up.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

@Anonymous Huh, seems like the stock multi-card visual or even a table visual with a bit of formatting to remove the lines. I mean, you Data Category an image url as an image url and it shows up as an image in a table.

Some of the measures are from different tables (we have an application status table and an application funding table, for instance). Would this work for multi cards?

@Anonymous Not 100% regarding multi-card but almost certainly a table. That's just a measure with a SWITCH statement where you figure out what "row" you are in and return teh right measure. Might be similar to multi-card, should be, but specifics of your situation are lacking.

Sorry, trying not to display confidential information. We have a program running with the following dashboard (numbers blanked out):

Some of the numbers are just a stratigh row count, some are calculations (e.g. $ requested as a percentage of budget allocated) and not all are even stored in a table. So it's not like we're listing something from the same table by category.

 

I was just looking for a visual that's like a card, but with a picture, a display and a title:

Haven't been able to find anything. If I were to have a visual with these three elements and be able to modify them, yet have the same format across them, I'd be happy. We basically have an image file, a standard card and a text box, that we have duplicated 14 times on a dashboard, and spent 3 hours re-sizing everything last week when the client requested a change from 12 measures to 14. Would be great if we could have just re-sized 12 visuals and added 2 more. Hoping to make this our standard dashboard, but it's a pain to get the visuals changed and re-positioned for different client needs,
