Dashboard properties
To access dashboard properties, you must have the Edit permission. After you switch your dashboard to Edit mode, the option is available on the menu on the dashboard toolbar or on the File tab on the Mac menu bar.
Use the dashboard properties to perform these tasks:
- Rename the currently open dashboard.
- Access or modify the unique name of the dashboard.
- Add or edit the 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.
- Show or hide the dashboard margins.
- Specify a background color for the dashboard and its brightness.
There are three tabs: General, Layout, and Theme.
Note: For a dashboard that is part of an
application, some or all of dashboard properties are protected and cannot be modified. For an
unprotected dashboard, you can change each property except for the unique name. For a
protected dashboard, you can view dashboard properties but you cannot modify them.
