Customize Watchlists

You can use the Watchlist Styles tab of the Scorecard Settings dialog to customize watchlists used on Scorecards, Objectives, Initiatives, Perspectives, Smart Watchlists, Custom Views, Strategy Tree Views, Strategy Maps, and Cause Effect Maps.

For each watchlist in a scorecard, you can customize watchlist styles, change the column order, display or hide columns, and change column labels at the following levels:

  • Scorecard: Applies to all watchlists for the scorecard that do not have their own individual styles or column customizations.

  • Individual Watchlist: Applies to an individual watchlist. The individual watchlist style overrides the scorecard level style

If no watchlist styles are set, the default style is used.

You can include the following format options to customize the watchlists:

  • Font Name - You must enter the font name manually. You must a font name supported by a web browser used in your environment.

  • Bold - Yes or No or Default

  • Italic - Yes, or No or Default

  • Border Style

  • Border Color

  • Font Color

  • Background Color

You can set the above formats for individual cell (row and column) types independently and can apply different styles for alternate rows of the watchlist.

You can copy and paste styles from one cell to another, and with one click can apply a cell's style to the entire row. You can also set the styles for the header row and the selected (clicked on) row.
