Dashboard Themes

Use Dashboard Themes to define colors, fonts, images, and styles for different elements on a Dashboard, such as Dashboard background color, colors for charts and gauges, and label fonts).

For a detailed list of Dashboard-specific Theme properties, see Dashboard Theme Properties.

Note: Widgets significantly vary by type, so Theme properties and how they can be applied also vary significantly (example: Image Widgets do not have text). For more information, see About Widgets.

Select a Theme as part of a Dashboard's Display properties.

If configured, a Dashboard Theme can be overridden by:

  • Widget Theme: Chart, Gauge, and Matrix Widgets can have their own colors and styles and can be configured to override the Dashboard Theme. Gauge Threshold colors can also override Theme Alert colors.
  • Global Dashboard Theme: The default Dashboard Theme selected for the entire system.
  • Role Dashboard Theme: The default Dashboard Theme selected for a Role (for more information, see Select Default Role Dashboards and Dashboard Themes).
  • User Dashboard Theme: The Theme selected by the user (for more information, see Select a User Dashboard Theme).
  • View Theme: A system administrator, or anyone with rights, has the ability to set a Theme for each View, which essentially resets the default Global Theme.

CSM provides several OOTB Themes. Use these OOTB Themes as-is, edit them, or create them using the Theme Manager (for more information, see Create a Theme).
