Global Settings are dashboard-level properties that apply consistently across all scenarios within a dashboard. These settings allow you to define shared visual styles—such as colors, spacing, borders, and opacity—once, rather than configuring them individually for each scenario. This helps maintain visual consistency and reduces repetitive styling work.
Many of these properties also exist at the scenario level under Chart Style and Appearance. However, Global Settings override the need to configure them per scenario by applying them universally.
To access Global Settings, make sure that no scenario is selected. If a scenario is selected, the Inspector Panel displays scenario-level properties instead of dashboard-level properties. Click anywhere on the empty dashboard canvas to open the dashboard properties.
The Scenario Background Color property sets a universal background color for all scenarios in the dashboard. This affects the background of each individual scenario, not the background of the dashboard page itself. Using a global background color ensures that all scenarios share the same visual foundation.
The Palette property defines the color palette used across all scenarios. A palette consists of seven colors derived from your dashboard theme. You can open the palette dropdown to choose from different palette styles, including multi-color palettes, monochrome palettes based on the theme, standard palettes, or custom palettes. This allows you to control how colors are applied to data points consistently across the dashboard.
Graph Opacity controls the transparency of charts across all scenarios. By default, it is set to 100%, meaning all scenarios are fully opaque. Lowering this value makes charts more transparent, which can be useful when layering visuals or creating subtle visual effects.
The Corner Radius property rounds the corners of scenario data points, such as columns, bars, and similar visual elements. Increasing the value results in more rounded corners, giving charts a softer and more modern appearance.
Auto Gradient applies a gradient effect to scenario colors. When enabled, colors within the scenario gradually fade, creating a gradient-style visual effect across data points.
Padding defines the space between the visualization itself and the edges of the scenario background. Increasing padding creates additional breathing room around charts and other visual elements, helping to improve readability and visual balance.
Margin controls the space between the border of a scenario and its surrounding area. Adjusting the margin affects how scenarios are positioned relative to other components on the dashboard and helps manage spacing within the overall layout.
The Border Color property allows you to set the color and opacity of scenario borders. Keep in mind that the border will only be visible if the Border Width property is set to a value greater than zero.
The Border Width property defines the thickness of scenario borders. Any value above zero enables the border and allows the selected color and styling to be applied.
The Border Radius property rounds the corners of scenario borders. Higher values create more rounded edges, and when combined with specific scenario dimensions, padding, and margin values, it is possible to achieve fully circular scenario borders.
The Shadow property adds depth and emphasis to scenario borders. You can choose from the following shadow options: None, Inner, Outer, or Both. In addition, you can customize the shadow color and select a thickness of Thin, Medium, or Thick to control the visual weight of the shadow.
