How to Show/Hide Column Headers in a Grid Widget

When creating dashboards in Bold BI, you may find that you want to customize the appearance of your grid widgets. One such customization could be hiding the column headers for a cleaner look or to prevent redundancy. Below are the steps to hide column headers in a grid widget on Bold BI dashboards.

Steps to Hide Column Headers

1. Assign Data to Fields:
   Begin by configuring the grid widget with the necessary data. Use the “Assign Data” option to select and organize the fields you want to display in your grid widget.

2. Access Header Settings:
   With your data configured, switch to the properties panel on the right side of the dashboard designer. Here, you will find various customization options for your grid widget.

3. Locate “Show Header” Option:
   Within the properties panel, navigate to the “Header Settings” category. This section contains settings related to the appearance and behavior of the headers in your grid widget.

4. Disable “Show Header”:
   By default, the “Show Header” option is enabled, which means that the headers are visible. To hide the headers, simply disable this option by toggling the switch or unchecking the box.
   

   

5. Review Changes:
   After disabling the “Show Header” option, the headers of the grid widget will be hidden. Preview your dashboard to ensure that the headers are no longer visible and that the grid widget appears as intended.
   

   

Conclusion

Hiding column headers in a grid widget can be a simple yet effective way to tailor the look of your Bold BI dashboards. By following the steps outlined above, you can achieve a more streamlined design that suits your reporting needs.
