Configuring Dashboard Display Properties

Data displayed on the Dashboard can be customized using the Display editor. Edit color options in the display editor to customize the appearance of data shown in the grid, contributing to a clearer initial understanding of the data at a glance. You can configure the display of options for FG Color (foreground color), BG Color (background color), and selected categories of Cell Value, or use the default values provided.

If the selected property does not apply for a specific Node, the dashboard will display [NS] (not supported) in the record cells.

On the Options pane, click Configure colors to access the Display Properties dialog box.
