To add multiple instances of an item, hold down Shift when selecting the item and click repeatedly to add instances until you unclick the item.
To place the selected item in the view or dashboard do one of the following:
Click in the view or dashboard to create and place the item.
Click and drag the mouse in the view or dashboard to create and size the item.
Note
A single attribute can be dragged from the tree and dropped directly onto a view. For the first such drop, a list of compatible display items is shown; the selected display item is added to the view with the attribute assigned to it. Subsequent drops use the same type of display item, although a control-drag can be done to show the list again, and an incompatible drop (i.e. dropping a string attribute when a gauge is the current selection) also displays the list.
