Apply a Style to a Dashboard

Dashboards can have report styles applied to them, just as individual reports can. When you apply a style to a dashboard, all reports on the dashboard use the same style when viewed from the dashboard.

You can create your own styles, or select from a number of default styles. Two of the default styles are intended for specific purposes, though you can use whichever style you want.

• Infolet—We recommend using this style with dashboards that primarily contain infolets. This style is formatted to provide the most efficient use of space for viewing infolets. For information about infolets, see How You Place Content on Dashboards.

• Web Theme—This style is intended for use on the Browser User Interface. This is formatted to provide a consistent look and feel when viewed in a web browser.

1. Click the Home tab.
2. Click Auto Format to open the Auto Format window.
3. To prevent the style from being applied to all levels in the reports shown on the dashboard, clear the Apply Style to All Report Levels check box.
4. Click the style you want to apply to the dashboard.

Results:

The report style is automatically applied to all the reports in your dashboard. If you later add a new report to the dashboard, you will need to apply the style to the dashboard again for the style to be applied to the new report. See Apply a Style to a Report for information about applying a style to a report. For procedures on editing and creating styles, see Styles Explorer.
