Applying a specific style to the widget

The field CSS Class can be used by Designers to apply a specific CSS class to the widget, enhancing the ability for Designers to individually style widgets.

Selecting the Visualization

Select the Visualization from the available list of List View Visualizations

Controlling the size of the Visualization on the Dashboard

Choose the List View Visualization Size from one of these Options:

  • Percent:
    - Width in % of the target cell where the Visualization has been placed.
    - Height in % will only work in very limited scenarios
  • Pixels: user can manually size the Visualization, by determining the fixed height and the width in pixels.

Override User Security

Ticking this option will ensure the visualization is shown the same to all users, ignoring their individual security permissions. This will give all users the ability to see the Visualization on the dashboard regardless of any security restrictions.

When this option is ticked, the Analyze Further link is hidden to avoid confusion.

This is ideal for corporate statistical visualizations where you do not want individual user permissions to affect the data shown.
