You are able to add multiple gauges into the report by adding them into a table. The following example adds four gauges in one table.

<table style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">
<iframe src="YOUR BRIGHTGAUGE PUBLIC GAUGE URL" style="border: none;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" width="400px" height="300px"></iframe>
</td>
<td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">
<iframe src="YOUR BRIGHTGAUGE PUBLIC GAUGE URLeight="300px"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">
<iframe src="YOUR BRIGHTGAUGE PUBLIC GAUGE URL" style="border: none;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" width="400px" height="300px"></iframe>
</td>
<td style="width: 50%; text-align: center;">
<iframe src="YOUR BRIGHTGAUGE PUBLIC GAUGE URL" style="border: none;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" width="400px" height="300px"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Step 5.

Switch back to normal view and save the widget by clicking outside of the widget.
