Global Properties
This section explains the Global Properties from the Dashboard Properties.
Global Properties let you align the appearance of multiple dashboard components from one place. Applying these settings at the dashboard level ensures a consistent, branded, and visually harmonious display—while still allowing per-component overrides when needed.

Open the dashboard on the Designer canvas.
Right-click anywhere on the canvas and choose Properties.
In Dashboard Properties, select Global Font and Themes.
Click the Global Properties icon.
The Global Properties Selection window opens with the list of properties you can set for the entire dashboard.
After configuring, click Save to apply the changes to the selected dashboard.

Click the Select Properties (
) icon for the Global Properties.The Global Properties window appears, listing the supported properties at the global (dashboard) level.

Troubleshooting
A component doesn’t reflect the global change: Check if that component has an explicit local override; remove/adjust the local setting.
Inconsistent axis/legend styles: Confirm that the chart type supports the chosen global property and that the axis/legend is enabled.
Unexpected number formatting: Verify Global Formatter selections and any per-series overrides in Dataset Properties.
