Setting Dashboard Preferences

You can set the global preferences for dashboards using the Dashboard Preferences option.

About this task

The settings are applied after the settings are changed. The preferences for previously created panels remain unchanged. If you want to change the settings of an individual panel in a dashboard, use the Preferences option in the panel right-click menu.
