Borders of grouped elements are not displayed in ArcGIS Dashboards dashboard view

Description

In ArcGIS Dashboards, when elements are grouped, the borders of each element are displayed during editing but hidden in the dashboard view. As a result, adjacent elements appear consecutively, reducing visual clarity.

The image below shows this behavior in the dashboard with a group containing a pie chart, a map legend, and a list, with no borders separating the elements.

Cause

This is expected behavior in ArcGIS Dashboards. Groups are used to display multiple elements collectively, serving solely as containers for layout organization. Borders are not displayed in the dashboard view but are shown during editing to indicate element boundaries.  

Solution or Workaround

As a workaround, to improve clarity and visually separate the elements within a group, enable the 'Allow element re-size' setting. This keeps subtle divider lines visible in the dashboard view, which act as a separator.

1. Open the dashboard edit page.
2. Enable the 'Allow element re-size' setting. Refer to ArcGIS Dashboards: View settings for more information.
   1. On the action bar, click View .
   2. In the View pane, click the Settings tab.
   3. On the Settings tab, toggle Allow element re-size on.
3. On the action bar, click Save > Save to save the changes.
4. In ArcGIS Dashboards, refresh the page to reflect the changes.

The borders separating each element within the group are displayed in the dashboard view.
