There are settings common to all visualizations, which you set in the **Panel options** section of the panel editor pane. The following sections describe these options as well as how to set them.
| Title | Text entered in this field appears at the top of your panel in the panel editor and in the dashboard. You can use [variables you have defined](ref:variables-you-have-defined) in the **Title** field, but not [global variables](ref:global-variables). |
| Description | Text entered in this field appears in a tooltip in the upper-left corner of the panel. Add a description to a panel to share with users any important information about it, such as its purpose. You can use [variables you have defined](ref:variables-you-have-defined) in the **Description** field, but not [global variables](ref:global-variables). |
| Transparent background | Toggle this switch on and off to control whether or not the panel has the same background color as the dashboard. |
| Panel links | Add [links to the panel](ref:links-to-the-panel) to create shortcuts to other dashboards, panels, and external websites. Access panel links by clicking the icon next to the panel title. |
| Repeat options | Set whether to repeat the panel for each value in the selected variable. For more information, refer to [Configure repeating panels](#configure-repeating-panels). |
You can use generative AI to populate the **Title** and **Description** fields with the [Grafana LLM plugin](ref:grafana-llm-plugin), which is currently in public preview. To enable this, refer to [Set up generative AI features for dashboards](ref:set-up-generative-ai-features-for-dashboards).
You can configure Grafana to dynamically add panels or rows to a dashboard. A dynamic panel is a panel that the system creates based on the value of a variable. Variables dynamically change your queries across all panels in a dashboard. For more information about repeating rows, refer to [Configure repeating rows](ref:configure-repeating-rows).
To see an example of repeating panels, refer to [this dashboard with repeating panels](https://play.grafana.org/d/testdata-repeating/testdata-repeating-panels?orgId=1).
1. Hover over any part of the panel to display the menu on the top right corner.
1. Click the menu and select **Edit**.
1. Open the **Panel options** section of the panel editor pane.
1. Under **Repeat options**, select a variable in the **Repeat by variable** drop-down list.
1. Under **Repeat direction**, choose one of the following:
- **Horizontal** - Arrange panels side-by-side. Grafana adjusts the width of a repeated panel. You can't mix other panels on a row with a repeated panel.
- **Vertical** - Arrange panels in a column. The width of repeated panels is the same as the original, repeated panel.
1. If you selected **Horizontal** in the previous step, select a value in the **Max per row** drop-down list to control the maximum number of panels that can be in a row.
