# Select Layout

KPI cards can be displayed in a tree or grid layout. 

Choose the **grid layout** if you want to display KPI cards in a grid as part of a dashboard or as a dedicated KPI dashboard. 

Use the **tree layout** if you want to show a hierarchy within your KPIs or if you want to break down a specific KPI into its driving factors.

A **default layout** can be set as well, since for the grid layout there's also a table layout available. If a tree is set up in the configuration, users can toggle from the tree to a grid and to a table view.

When you use the **dashboard extension**, select the **source sheet** before you choose a layout type.
