Hello,

I created a dashboard with bar charts. The legend however is on the bottom. Is there a way to move the legends to the top and that when we scroll down, the legend follows (like a header) that follows and can we do so for when we enlarge the charts ?

Hi partner,

Unfortunately, this is impossible.

If you want to see this feature in the future, you could suggest this idea to the Microsoft team: experience.dynamics.com/.../

How about just move the legend to the top but not the scroll. This is common, excel has it, we can have it top, left, right or bottom.

Hi partner,

We can do it in the web client, not in the UCI.

Please refer to this blog: https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/da1f1a7d-f5d3-4b9a-9ee5-7a7e901fb6b5/forcing-the-chart-legend-to-always-be-at-the-bottom?forum=crm

1) Export the original chart, open its xml file.

2) Find <Legends> ... </Legends>. Use the following code to replace them.

<Legends>
<Legend Alignment="Center" LegendStyle="Table" Docking="Bottom" Font="{0}, 11px" ForeColor="59, 59, 59" Position="5, 90, 20, 10"></Legend>
</Legends>

3) Import it into D365.

In this case, you can put the legend to the bottom.

This method is only available for web client and not for UCI. In UCI, you cannot change the position of the legend.

Great, thanks, with the web client can we make the legend to be on top and also go along with the scroll (like how we freeze pane a row in excel, that top row always stay there and when we go down the page that top row we alway see because it comes down with the scroll) ?

I exported it and made the change to the legend, moving it to the top and the result didn’t change. It was bottom before. Not sure why.

Hi partner,

The code that determines the position of the legend is not Docking="Bottom" or "Top", but Position="5, 90, 20, 10".

The Position="5, 90, 20, 10" translates as follows, the first number is the distance from the left across the chart in % (0 would be absolute left, 100 absolute right). The second number is the distance from the top in % (so 100 would be at the bottom - I find setting to 100 though makes the legend disappear).

So if you want to move the legend to the top, then you need to reduce the second number.

You can write like this: Position="5, 5, 20, 10"

Hi partner,

If there is no Position="..." in the <Legends> ... </Legends> code block of your XML file, then you can add it manually, as in the screenshot in my reply above.

Actually to my surprise the way I did it eventually work. Putting docking on top. Maybe the last time i didn’t see it because it took time, but I looked at it today, the legend is on top.

Now how can I format or code it to be on top as I scroll down if this can be done ?
