#### General:

* If this option is enabled, then the chart appears in the first preview of the dashboard.&#x20;

&#x20;     ![](/files/QjRjkWMOBJi1AmR0AKq4)

* If the user has kept the **Category** as **None**, then we need to specify the icon inside the ***SVG Path String***. Also, we can choose the Cursor Style.
  * By clicking the SVG Path String icon, the SVG Path String window opens.&#x20;

    * The user can provide an icon name from the library to use it.&#x20;
    * The Glymph icons from bootstrap can be also used.
