Designer
The designer settings in the Admin Portal allow you to modify the default behavior of the Wyn dashboard designer. These settings include controlling the visibility of the visualization wizard for a new dashboard, the component categories, the Inspector or Component panel when opening a dashboard, the Dashboard Explorer option, the mobile designer button, and the help and support icon in the designer.
Create Dashboard
Show Components Panel When a Dashboard is Opened
Controls the default state (expand or collapse) of the Component Panel when you open the dashboard designer. The Component panel includes scenarios, components, slicers, reusable widgets, and smart scenarios for creating and designing dashboards.
By default, this property is set to 'False'. It means the Component panel is collapsed when the end-user opens or creates a dashboard. In this way, the design area also widens horizontally, giving users more space for dashboard design. To make the Component panel appear expanded, set this property to 'True'.
Note: When you pin the Component panel, the content in the design area gets shifted to the right side of the designer.
Show Inspector Panel When a Dashboard is Opened
Controls the default state (expand or collapse) of the Inspector panel when you open the dashboard designer. By setting this property to 'False', it will let you hide the Inspector panel from the end-users when they initially open or create a dashboard. However, this panel will appear automatically as soon as a scenario is dropped into the design area. By default, this property is set to 'True'.
Show the Visualization Wizard by Default
Determines whether to display the Visualization Wizard window automatically when creating a new dashboard. By default, this option is set to 'False'. For more information, please visit the Visualization Wizard article.

E-Charts | Help you design charts with custom visualization. Enhanced functionalities of E-charts include more chart functions, automatic animations, and detailed setting options. E-Charts redefine the way of visualizing data, granting you the freedom to craft charts that match your unique requirements. For more information, please visit this article. |

Use this only in development environments. Do not enable it in production.

The designer settings in the Admin Portal allow you to modify the default behavior and visibility of certain elements in the dashboard designer when users create or edit dashboards. The following screenshot shows the elements that can be enabled or disabled.
Create Dashboard
Wyn administrators can choose what elements of the dashboard designer appear when users create new dashboards:
Components Panel: The components panel on the left side of the dashboard designer can be made to appear expanded if the Show Components Panel When a Dashboard is Opened is toggled on.
Inspector Panel: The inspector panel on the right side of the dashboard designer can be made to appear expanded if the Show Inspector Panel When a Dashboard is Opened is toggled on. By default, the inspector appears collapsed.
