Using, Modifying, and Deleting a Theme

You can directly use an existing theme to define your analytic applications or modify and override the existing theme preferences according to your needs.

Prerequisites

  • To create and use a theme, you must have the appropriate permissions for the analytic application item. For example, the Application Creator or Admin roles contain these permissions.

  • If the theme is created by another user, make sure you have access to the theme in the Files repository.

Procedure

  1. Select (Theme) in the Display section and choose a theme:

    • You can directly select a theme displayed in the dropdown list.

    • Or you can click Browse for More Themes… to choose another theme from Files repository.

    Once you have selected a theme, it applies to the analytic application instantly.

  2. If you want to delete the theme, go to the Files repository to select the theme and click the (Delete) button.
  3. (Optional) To override the theme preferences, you can select a widget, canvas, or popup and change its styles in the Styling panel.
    Note

    Even if you change to another theme, the widget style you defined in the Styling panel will be kept. But you can select (Restore to Theme Preferences) on the upper-right corner of the Styling panel to restore to the current theme's default setting.

  4. To modify the theme preferences:
    1. Select (Preferences) to the right of the theme in the Theme dropdown list.
    2. Change the theme settings according to your needs.
    3. Save the changes:

        Note

        Theme updates will not only apply to your current theme, but also apply to all analytic applications using the theme.
