Template variables can be very useful to dynamically change your queries across a whole dashboard. If you want
Grafana to dynamically create new panels or rows based on what values you have selected you can use the *Repeat* feature.
If you have a variable with `Multi-value` or `Include all value` options enabled you can choose one panel or one row and have Grafana repeat that row
for every selected value. You find this option under the General tab in panel edit mode. Select the variable to repeat by, and a `min span`.
The `min span` controls how small Grafana will make the panels (if you have many values selected). Grafana will automatically adjust the width of
each repeated panel so that the whole row is filled. Currently, you cannot mix other panels on a row with a repeated panel.
If you have a variable with `Multi-value` or `Include all value` options enabled you can choose one panel and have Grafana repeat that panel
for every selected value. You find the *Repeat* feature under the *General tab* in panel edit mode.
The `direction` controls how the panels will be arranged.
By choosing `horizontal` the panels will be arranged side-by-side. Grafana will automatically adjust the width
of each repeated panel so that the whole row is filled. Currently, you cannot mix other panels on a row with a repeated
panel. Each panel will never be smaller that the provided `Min width` if you have many selected values.
By choosing `vertical` the panels will be arranged from top to bottom in a column. The `Min width` doesn't have any effect in this case. The width of the repeated panels will be the same as of the first panel (the original template) being repeated.
Only make changes to the first panel (the original template). To have the changes take effect on all panels you need to trigger a dynamic dashboard re-build.
You can do this by either changing the variable value (that is the basis for the repeat) or reload the dashboard.
## Repeating Rows
This option requires you to open the row options view. Hover over the row left side to trigger the row menu, in this menu click `Row Options`. This
opens the row options view. Here you find a *Repeat* dropdown where you can select the variable to repeat by.
As seen above with the *Panels* you can also repeat *Rows* if you have variables set with `Multi-value` or
`Include all value` selection option.
To enable this feature you need to first add a new *Row* using the *Add Panel* menu. Then by hovering the row title and
clicking on the cog button, you will access the `Row Options` configuration panel. You can then select the variable
you want to repeat the row for.
It may be a good idea to use a variable in the row title as well.
