Tiles are the layout containers on the Relay canvas. A clear tile layout is one of the biggest factors in whether a dashboard feels easy or stressful to use live.

Common tile tasks

  1. Add a tile from the toolbar.
  2. Click to select it.
  3. Drag it into place.
  4. Resize it using the resize controls or handles.
  5. Use the inspector to change appearance and layout behavior.

Helpful layout habits

  • Put the most important live information in the largest tiles.
  • Group related information together visually.
  • Leave enough spacing for readability at a distance.
  • Split crowded layouts across multiple tabs instead of overloading one screen.

Helpful canvas tools

  • Grid snapping
  • Guides
  • Duplicate tile
  • Grouping
  • Resize dashboard canvas
  • Bring all tiles back into view if they drift off-screen

Troubleshooting

A tile seems missing

Use the command that brings all tiles back into the visible canvas.

Tiles are difficult to align

Turn on grid snapping or guides and build from one strong anchor tile first.
