Adjust settings

The Settings panel on the right side of the page has all the controls to adjust the chart. We'll go into those in detail in a different tutorial. Be sure to Save any changes you want to keep.

Edit dashboard

The top right of the dashboard is broken into three functional sections:
  1. Refresh dashboard
  1. Add chart, text or image
  1. Dashboard design, sharing and embedding, and archive
In addition you can click and drag any element on the dashboard to manually move them around, or resize.

Change dashboard design

Opening the design panel reveals the visual settings for the dashboard and charts. If all the charts will have the same background color, or be transparent, it's easier to manage that here rather than in the individual chart settings. The individual chart settings will override the dashboard settings.

Dashboard menu

As dashboards are created they can be easily accessed from the Dashboard menu at the top of the page. Once this list gets longer simply type in the search field to refine your results or find the exact dashboard you are looking for.
