Dashboard layout drag and drop - stop dragging a tile rearranging tiles its dragged over

Question

Hi,If you have many tiles carefully arranged in a dashboard and drag a tile over them they move to accommodate the dragged tile as it is dragged and before the tile has been dropped. For a dashboard, a user has spent some time arranging, the effect of the tiles flying all over the place is pretty disturbing. Is it possible to have some control over this? 1) Can individual tiles be pinned?2) Can the tiles not move until the dragged tile is dropped?Thanks

Hi Michael,Greetings from Syncfusion support.While dragging a panel in our Dashboard Layout component, a
shadow will appear below the panel, indicating the possible panel's placement
on panel drop. If one or more panels collide while dragging, then the colliding
panels will be pushed towards the left, right, top, or bottom direction where
an adaptive space for the collided panel is available. The position change of
these collided panels will be updated dynamically during the dragging of a
panel, so the users can decide whether to place the panel in the current
position or not. This is the default behavior of the Dashboard Layout
component.We understand that you want individual panels to be pinned
and that the dragged panel should not move any other panels until the
dragged panel is dropped. We suggest you check our Kanban component,
which will be suitable to meet your requirements.To know more about Kanban component, refer the below
documentation links.Demo : https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/kanban/overview?theme=fluentDocumentation : https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/kanban/getting-startedPlease check the shared

Hi Leo,Certainly the Kanban component has the sort of drag/drop behaviour I'm looking for but it doesn't support user sizing of cards/tiles or the free placement of cards/tiles that the dashboard layout supports. These are core behaviour for a dashboard so the Kanban is no dashboard replacement.Do you have any other suggestion?
