Dashboard

The dashboard is a collection introduced in Trilium v0.104.0. It is similar to the Grid View collection, but with some key differences:

• The grid layout is not fixed, allowing for tiles of varying widths and heights. The grid has 12 columns and an unlimited number of rows.
• Each widget represents a child note of the collection and can be reordered or resized.
• The grid will distribute the columns evenly to fill the entire screen.
  • If the available space is too low (e.g. in a split or in mobile), the columns are collapsed so that all widgets are displayed one under the other.
  • While the columns are collapsed, the widgets cannot be reordered or resized.
• Unlike the Grid View, the widgets are not clickable which allows them to be interactive.

Types of widgets#

The dashboard uses the same rendering mechanism as the Grid View or the Note List, which means every note can be rendered, such as:

• Static content, via Text or Code.
• Images via File, Mermaid Diagrams, Mind Map.
• Interactive widgets via Render Note.

Adding new widgets#

There are two ways to add widgets to a dashboard:

• Create a child note of any type, the dashboard will automatically pick it up and add it onto the grid.
• From the Note Tree, drag an existing note onto the dashboard and it will be placed there. This will clone the note into the collection.
