The multi-page format has been great for dashboard management compared to a “layered” format, but one issue that I have encountered is that the multi-page formatting enables the ability to swipe left and right between pages, and assumes they get accessed in a linear order.
I would like to see the option to disable the swipe navigation, so that dashboards can more finely tune how users access pages from another. Either a dash-level “Enable Swipe Page Navigation” and/or a page level “Include in Swipe Page Navigation” could be an approach to this.
We implemented per page ‘Allow Page Swipe’ YES/NO setting. This will be available on next build.
Fantastic, thank you! Hopefully this will help people looking to make sub-menus or hidden pages within their dashboard.
In the meantime, you can add an empty image gauge to occupy all space and thus “disable” swiping controls, but you have to do it on every page:
- Insert Gauge > Image Gauge
- Look&Feel > Images > select “No Image” for the display/background image, or, under Look&Feel > Colors, set the Image Blend Color to 00000000
- Set the position of this gauge to 0,0 and make its size at least as big as your screen resolution
- Select this gauge > Arrange > Send to Back, to keep it from possibly interfering with other UI elements
You can also do this to disable this swiping gesture for parts of your screen.

Image gauge should not capture inputs, do you mean Button Gauge?
Note quite sure. It may also be a container gauge causing this. In this case, just use an empty container with the same dimensions and position.
