Solved: Re: How do I save tabulated dashboards?

I have combined 3 reports into a dashboard as shown below.

Unfortunately, if I save and re-open this dashboard the result is as follows.

How can I stop the organisation in tabs coming undone after saving? Any ideas?

One limitation of Combine Windows is that it only creates VSplitter / HSplitter layouts, and does not have an option to tab the reports during combining. So I am guessing that you rearranged the running dashboard to create the layout in the first picture? What you are seeing is that changing the layout of a running dashboard currently does not change the dashboard script. If you change the layout in the Dashboard Builder (either create directly in Dashboard Builder, or Combine Windows and then red-triangle > Edit Dashboard), then you can save from there and the layout will be preserved.

Thanks - I've solved this. Your explanation was spot on and just a a little playing around to understand the dashboard editor was needed.
