Dashboard themes editor

The Dashboard Themes page lets you control how interface elements look on each dashboard. Orbit includes built-in System Themes, marked Not editable, and you can create Custom Themes to match your brand colours.

Deep Blue is the default theme for new dashboards. You can set any published theme as the default instead, which also changes every dashboard that uses the current default. See Setting a default theme.

To open the Dashboard Themes page, select Application Settings from the User Menu in the top right, then select Dashboard Themes.

Creating a theme

You can create a theme to use a different look than the default design for interface elements, or to match your company brand colours.

To create a theme:

1. Under Custom Themes, select + Theme.
2. Enter a Theme Name.
3. Change the colour settings for Visualisations and Fonts.

4. Enter a hex value for each element, or select the colour icon to open the colour picker.

   In the preview area, you can see how each element looks.

   

5. Select Save Draft.

Multiple colours

You can apply more than one visualisation colour to a dashboard theme.

These help differentiate the categories on a dashboard.

• Select the + sign to select additional colours

Theme fonts

You can change the font used for the following Tile elements on a Custom Theme:

Tile title

Tile note

• Selecting Save Draft or Publish applies any changes

The theme stays in [DRAFT] mode until you select Publish to make the theme available.

Theme logo

You can apply a logo to a theme. First upload the logo, then from the Dashboard Themes page select the logo to use.

• Expand the Logo section and select the Choose logo button to select a logo

Orbit applies the selected logo to the theme.

Setting a default theme

In the theme selector panel, a check mark shows the current default theme. The number next to each theme shows how many dashboards use it.

Setting a new default changes every dashboard that uses the current default theme.

To set a default theme:

1. Select the theme from the theme selector panel.

2. In the options menu, select Set Default.

   

3. Orbit shows how many dashboards the change affects. Select Change to confirm.
