Select a User Dashboard Theme
A dashboard theme is a set of set of colors, styles, and fonts that can be applied to a dashboard to give the dashboard and its widgets a cohesive look.
Good to know:
- The ability to select a user dashboard theme in the CSM Desktop Client and CSM Browser Client is based on two things: Security rights and permission from the dashboard (that is, the Allow User's Chosen Theme to Override the Dashboard Theme check box is selected on the dashboard's display page).
- Dashboard theme behaviors can vary. See Dashboard Themes.
- If no suitable theme is available for selection, you can create a new theme in the CSM Administrator. See Create a Theme.
Select a User Dashboard Theme in a CSM Client
- Open a dashboard in either the CSM Desktop or Browser Client.
- Open the
User Theme Preferences dialog:
- In the CSM Desktop Client: Right-click on the dashboard and select User Theme in the context menu.
- In the
CSM Browser Client:
Select the
Theme button
on the toolbar.
Note: The theme types available for selection in the User Theme Preferences dialog are dependent on the current theme type applied to the dashboard (classic or universal theme). If a classic theme is currently applied, you can only select a classic theme. If a universal theme is currently applied, you can only select a universal theme. - Select a theme from the
User Theme Preferences drop-down list:
- Use system default (theme name): Theme defined for the default global dashboard (available for classic theme selection only).
- Use role default (theme name): Theme defined for the default role dashboard (available for classic theme selection only).
- Use dashboard theme: Theme defined for the dashboard in the Dashboard Editor (available for classic and universal theme selection).
- Specifically selected theme: Any other theme available for selection in the drop-down list.
- Select OK.
