Possible to tweak the Dashboard UI to auto wrap Machines? (as opposed to using Horizontal scroll)

I have a project with about 25 deployment sites/machines. Because there are frequent upgrades, it is important we very much use the Dashboard to monitor status.

However, a single row only handles about 7 or so Machines without having to use the Horizontal scroll bar to view, which is a good thing, but still comes short of our need.

As a Dashboard, it is most ideal to be able to be the status of all Machines without having to take physical action (scroll).

Is there an option to do this. If not, is there a tweak we can do the the UI template that allows us to “wrap” the machines without breaking Octopus?

Hi Al,

Thanks for getting in touch! Octopus is usually used to manage a small number of environments (e.g., Dev, Test, Production), each having multiple machines in each (e.g., Production might contain 20 machines). It looks like in your case, you have a larger number of environments, but each only having one machine.

At the moment we don’t have a setting to control this. If you’re using Google Chrome, you could try using the StyleBot extension with some custom CSS:

.deployment-square{
  padding: 0;
  min-width: 0;
}

The StyleBot extension will allow you to customize the CSS of that page and keep your changes each time you view the page; hopefully it will make the experience better until we make some changes to better handle many environments.

Hope that helps!
