# Vertical Indicators

Indicators can be arranged vertically, through the use of the parameter *vertical*. Each column of indicators is using the same methods as the [grouped indicators](https://docs.shimoku.com/dev/elements/charts/indicators/grouped-indicators), so the function will return the next available order.

This allows the user to create a column of indicators, using a [bentobox](https://docs.shimoku.com/dev/elements/charts/indicators/broken-reference) with the provided cols\_size (that by default is 12), and including the indicators inside. 

This option has no limit of indicators and will continue to grow vertically. To use this feature, pass *True* to the *vertical* parameter when calling the indicator function.  Additionally, a title can be added to the top of the bentobox by passing a string to the same parameter *vertical* (If its set to *True* it will arrange them vertically but will not set any title).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Adding a title will use one more position of the grid, the next available order will be n+1.
{% endhint %}

An example would be:

```python
data_ = [{
    "color": "success",
    "variant": "contained",
    "description": "This indicator has a Link",
    "targetPath": "/indicators/indicator/1",

    "align": "left",
    "value": "500€",

```
