Themes

Use Dashboard Designer to create, preview, modify, copy, delete, or deploy custom themes. You can also view the default themes in Dashboard Designer, but cannot modify, delete, or deploy them. Both the default and the custom themes can be applied to Engine only. You cannot apply these themes to the Dashboard Designer. The default themes along with the deployed custom themes are displayed on Engine.

Each default or custom theme displays a theme Theme icon that is prefixed to the theme name. All the default and custom themes are available to all the Dashboard Designer users, irrespective of their Tool Content Groups. However, Engine users can view only the default themes and the deployed custom themes, irrespective of their Engine User Groups.

  • Carbon
