Tons of additional Spacer Tiles are being added to Dashboards

I suppose your algorithm for detecting excess spacers contains logic looking for trailing spacers at the end of the bottom-most, right-most space.

That’s right. If you have any extra spacer tile after the “real” tile, it will prompt and remove all the extra ones if you’d like to. Since there’s no way to know if a spacer is placed on purposed for the layout design or added accidentally if it is among the real tiles. The fixed canvas layout design is indeed in our list, so you feedback is greatly appreciated.

How To: Designing Dashboards for a Tablet from a Laptop / PC

@Devin_Morell thanks for posting! The tiles on SharpTools dashboards will automatically reflow based on the screen width. If you’re looking to have tiles line up a certain way on a certain device, we recommend designing the dashboard for your target device size. For anyone who is finding this via search, the feedback in this post applies to the legacy Reflowing Dashboards. Creating a new dashboard will default to using Scalable Dashboards making it easier to use the same dashboard …

And @Stan_Silverman also shared his trick of using “Window Resizer”, a chrome extension, which allows you to change your browser resolution to your table with just one click, and makes editing tablet dashboard on a PC/laptop easier.
