Customizing display

Overview

Themes allow you to customize the display of indicator output charts. You can apply themes at the dashboard level to unify display for all indicators in a dashboard. You can also override these settings by applying themes to individual indicators. Themes are available for all profiles to use. When you delete a theme that is applied to other indicators, those indicators automatically revert to using their containing dashboard's theme. When you delete a theme applied to other dashboards, they revert to using the add-on's Built-in theme.

Customizable display elements in themes include:

• The position of the chart's legend.

• The color for each of the chart's output values, including grouped items.

• The tooltip's background and text color.

Creating and editing themes
