## Introduction

You can group dashboard items together by using containers and tab containers. Using a container gives much more flexibility in designing dashboards. Containers can be positioned in the same way as dashboard items. The items in a container can be positioned relative to that container.

When containers are used to position other dashboard items, the header of the container can be disabled.

Follow these steps to create a container.

| Step | Action |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Go to a dashboard with multiple charts. |
| 2 | Right-click in the dashboard item list and select **New container**. |
| 3 | Drag and drop the two charts into **New container**. |
| 4 | Change the position of the container as desired. |
