Dashboard properties

Use the Dashboard Properties dialog box to view or edit the properties of a dashboard.
Note: You can only edit the properties of the currently open dashboard.

Select Dashboard options > Dashboard Properties

In the Dashboard Properties dialog box you can perform these tasks:

  • Rename the dashboard.
  • Add or edit a dashboard description.
  • View information about when the dashboard was created and modified.
  • Specify the size of the dashboard: that is, the size of the area in which you can place content.
  • Specify a background color for the dashboard.

To view or edit the properties of a dashboard that is not open, click the Settings icon of the dashboard in the Dashboards browser and select Properties.

The Dashboard Properties dialog box has three tabs: General, Layout, and Theme.

General tab

On the General tab, you can change the name, unique name and description of the current dashboard.

The General tab displays this information:

  • The unique name.
  • The description of the dashboard.

Layout tab

On the Layout tab, you can set the dashboard size.

On the Theme tab, you can specify a background color for a dashboard. You can pick a color from a palette, or specify a hexadecimal value.
