[15] Managing Workbook Themes

Workbook themes are set of configurable settings that affect all colors and fonts of dashboards and visualizations in a workbook. This configuration also includes setting which among the color palettes will be available for the Color variable or shape palettes for the Shape variable in the visualizations. Furthermore, the general colors to be used in visualizations such as axis, background, border, and focus colors can be defined.

Theme files are independent of workbooks and can be uploaded to and downloaded from the server through the administration UI.

On an opened workbook, users can dynamically switch between the two provided default workbook themes: Light or Dark.
 

 

 

 

The Theme tab allows management of these workbook themes which are stored in the repository on the server.

 

NOTE

In the previous versions of Panopticon, all of theme-related settings are part of the workbook style, making it difficult to dynamically switch styles (e.g., colors, fonts etc.) When a workbook (created using versions before 17.5) is opened, all of the existing styles are extracted then saved as its inline workbook theme.

 

On the Themes tab, the following sections are available:

Property	Description
Search Theme	Entering text will filter the themes.
Toolbar	Allows copying, moving, and removing of themes. Also, to display the themes list either on List View or Grid View.
Create Theme	Allows creating new themes.
Theme Context Menu	Allows uploading, renaming, moving, copying, downloading, and deleting themes.
