Dashboard settings

Dashboard settings allow you to customize the visual appearance and data formatting of your dashboards to match your organization's branding, improve readability, and ensure consistent data presentation across different regions and languages. This page explains how to customize settings and themes.

Overview

Dashboard-level settings provide global control over two aspects of your dashboard:

• Theme customization: Control the visual appearance, including colors, fonts, widget styling, and layout preferences
• Locale configuration: Set number and date formatting standards based on geographic or cultural preferences

These settings apply to all widgets and visualizations within a dashboard, ensuring a consistent user experience. When you modify dashboard settings, changes are automatically applied to existing widgets and are used as defaults for any new widgets you add.

To access dashboard-level settings:

1. Open your draft dashboard.
