Dashboard Designer Options Tab

The Options tab is shown when you select an item on the dashboard design center.

The buttons on the tab vary depending on the item you select and let you customize the item. For example, if you select a report on the dashboard, you can use the buttons on the Options tab to add a border around the report and choose background colors.
