Stacked elements in dashboard have left and right arrows and not tabs

[Ryan_Gould]

I have 7 elements stacked together in a dashboard. There are usually tabs displayed under the stack to move from element to element. In my dashboard, the tabs were replaced with right and left arrows. How can force tabs to appear? The arrows aren't as intuitive for users. 

Here is what I would like to see:

This is what my stack looks like with the right and left arrows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest fix may be to shorten the titles or reduce the number of characters on each tab. That will make them thinner and fit on the screen without grouping.

@SteveOwens Thank you for the prompt response. That fixed my issue. I thought I'd already tried that. I didn't realize it was so simple. Much appreciated!

I ran into that too and did as @SteveOwens suggested and shortened the titles.   I also expanded the width of the element.  If your width is restrained, when you click on the middle of a  tab, a popup appears with all the tabs you can quickly jump to.  Maybe you could work user directions into your tab titles "Activity Description Distribution (click for more criteria)"

@KellyKnapp35 . Thank you for the reply. That's also a good idea. I will speak to the user of the dashboard and see what works best for them.
