Global controls

Use global controls to configure settings that apply to all currently displayed chart widgets. Global chart controls are available in the Charts tab, dashboards, and reports.

Note that the configured settings apply to all charts within one view. For example, all chart widgets in a single report. Global controls aren't project-specific.

Local and global settings

When you configure custom settings on a widget level, you override the global settings.

Conflicting settings

The following indicators on the widget menu () and the Controls button show the currently configured settings:

  • A blue dot indicates that the custom settings apply. There's no conflict between local and global settings.

  • An orange dot indicates that the applied settings are conflicting. The local settings override the global settings.
