You can use the dashboard settings to control many aspects of the dashboard's appearance and behavior. To open the dashboard settings, click the Settings button at the top of the dashboard.

Theme

On the Theme tab, you can select colors to match your organization's branding. Choose contrasting colors for accessibility, low-light conditions, or field use. You can choose the background and text colors for the entire dashboard as well as for the elements added to the dashboard. You can configure the color options of individual elements in that element's general settings.

General

On the General tab, you can give users the flexibility to resize and expand each dashboard element. Since dashboards occupy 100 percent of your browser window, they don't always look the same on all screens. Under General, choose to turn on the Allow element resize toggle button to allow dashboard viewers the ability to manually resize elements. Additionally, choose to turn on the Allow element expansion toggle button to allow dashboard viewers the ability to expand elements.

Dashboards perform unit prefixing using standard metric prefix symbols. In the Number prefixes section of the General tab, set the symbols to be used throughout the dashboard wherever unit prefixing is enabled.

URL parameters

URL parameters make dashboards dynamic, whereby a single dashboard can power any number of different views. Learn more about URL parameters and how to configure actions on URL parameters.
