## Containers and tab containers

Containers can be used to group dashboard items together. 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.
