There is no option to do this.
Notice that the example shown in the docs does not resolve IP addresses.

Hi @NetworkWise
If the firebox shows website names on front panel, this will be due to logging being enabled for the HTTP/HTTPS proxies. The domain names come from the GET requests made by the clients.
Dimension can do reverse DNS lookups for clients on your network (provided there is a DNS server on network that can resolve them.) See this help article if you'd like to enable that:

After close inspection, I do have a few name resolutions showing on the Web UI Front Panel - Top Destinations.
However, the DNS names are after the IP addrs and are barely visible without hovering a cursor over the IP addr.
And since one can't increase the width of the Name column - there is no way to see them easily.
