Dashboard properties

To access dashboard properties, you must have the Edit permissions. After you switch your dashboard to Edit mode, the Properties option is available on the Actions menu on the toolbar.

Select Actions > Properties.

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.
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.

You can view or edit certain properties of a dashboard that is not currently open, such as its name, unique name, and description. You can access these properties on the Dashboards tab on the side menu.
