MicroStrategy ONE

Reusable Dashboard Themes

Starting in MicroStrategy ONE Update 10, Application Architects can define reusable dashboard themes when creating new dashboards in Workstation. This includes default font type, size, color palette on grids/graphs, and fill color among other formatting properties in different visualizations and component types. Users can apply a theme by a simply clicking to change the look and feel of their dashboards. This is much easier and efficient than changing the formatting in each visualization.

Check out the topics linked below to get started:

Apply a Theme to Your Dashboard

  2. Choose Format > Select Theme.

  3. In the Themes panel, search for your theme.

  4. Hover over your theme and click Apply.
