Hi,
I have been a long user of Home Assistant but I am finally getting my Smart home together. I have got my dashboards and views together. But now I am trying to orgainse my Home View in sections. But when I try and change to view and different Stacks the dashboard is blank. What’s the best way to see why the Dashboard is not showing?
Thanks
You probably need to be a little bit more specific about what you need, what you have, and what’s going wrong. Try to explain it in terms of what you’re specifically actually doing/trying. Screenshots of the UI and/or of any code editor screens that are relevant are often very useful when people try to give you pointers.
Sorry first time posting. Attached is the screen shots of my dashboard at the moment. As you can see I have headings but Home assistant moves it around. This is the one that is working.
I suppose the real question is how do I make it go under the headings. I have attached the YAML for this and the New YAML that I reworked but it goes blank.
I know the YAML files are correct but I don’t know if I have used the views or panel elements correctly.
Stop for a second and ask yourself if you’re putting enough information into your post for someone with knowledge to be able to help you.

What is “it”?
This is the one that is working.
All of them or which one? And what does “working” mean to you, as opposed to presumably “not working”?
Someone who has had the same exact problem as you might be able to figure out how to help you by drawing on their experience, but apart from that I don’t have enough info to try to help you, sorry 
@d921 Yeah fair questions.
So I have title cards in my YAML, Like Lights, Routines, Weather and as such. I then have entities under those title cards. But when actually viewing the dashboard the title cards are everywhere and the entities are not under the right Title cards. So lets forget about my design all together. When designing vertical or horizontal stacks with a Title card and entities how do I keep the entities under their prospective Title card like Lights Routines and such.
I am finding I am designing dashboards but I don’t really know how to do proper sections.
Does this make more sense?
There’s no such thing as a “title card.” Do you mean, using Mushroom Cards, which is a third-party solution? That would have been a useful piece of info to include in your posts.
@d921 As I said first time poster. Yes I have implemented Mushroom cards and I am using the custom:mushroom-title-card for each section. I will go back through the documentation and try and understand how the Dashboard reads the YAML file. Thanks for your assistance.
Next Time I post I will remember to be more detailed about the problem. I was trying to find the best way to diagnose why a dashboard would be blank when a YAML checker validates the YAML and Home assistant is throwing no errors in the LOG. I was wondering where you start to look for the actual cause of the problem.
There are a lot of situations that would lead to that. Home Assistant is not the walled garden of an iOS or a Microsoft Windows (you can debate me on whether that is a ‘walled garden’).
You should always include more information than you think is important. Home Assistant is a very broad platform and, as one example of a pitfall, one person’s vocabulary might hit on specific terms that have meaning in the platform that the person does not intend.
Anyway, good luck. I have no knowledge of the Musrhoom cards so can’t help with this one.
Are you using vertical stacks? What type of Dashboard are you using?
Sections, Masonry, Horizontal etc…
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: custom:mushroom-title-card
title: Common Areas
- type: custom:mushroom-light-card
entity: light.your_light
