You can select general formatting options to apply to a dashboard, such as the font type to use to display all text in the dashboard, the font used for the titles of all filters and visualizations, and the background color and border used for all containers. Containers display the visualizations, filters, text, and images on a dashboard.
Formatting options for individual objects in the dashboard, such as individual visualizations, images, filters, and so on, override formatting applied at the dashboard level. For detailed information on the formatting options available for a specific type of dashboard control, see the appropriate link below:
The following options are available:
Overall Font Family: Determine the font family to use to display all text in the dashboard. This setting overrides the font type defined elsewhere in the dashboard, including in the Font drop-down list described below.
