Why does ui_template node create a space in the dashboard layout?

[rakgupta]

Is ui_template supposed to take up real estate on a DB2 page? If so, how can I "hide" that space.

Below is an example:

ui_template above a ui-tabulator node

ui_template positioned beiow a ui-tabulator node

ui_template node config

Thanks for your help.

Just because you didn't enter any elements, doesn't mean they don't still get a container. Try changing the type option (change the scope)

You can also add CSS to target the widgets parent group and hide it like that.

Try adding d-none to the class name field.

Thanks @Steve-Mcl. I changed the scope to "Widget (ui scoped)" and that seems to work. Since it basically loads the Luxon date library (required by ui-tabulator) making it global will work for tables on different pages.
