What are dashboard users limited to modifying?

Dashboard users are able to modify the data settings in some chart settings, which allows them to customize how the data is displayed and interpreted on the dashboard. This capability is important for users who want to focus on specific data points or trends that are relevant to their tasks and to ensure that the information presented is not only useful but also accommodates their particular analytical needs.

Modifying data settings can include adjustments such as filtering datasets, changing axes, or altering which metrics are displayed, all while adhering to the overall structure of the dashboard that has been established by a higher-level author or designer. This flexibility helps users tailor their experience to enhance their understanding and interaction with the data presented.

Other options refer to aspects of the dashboard that, while important for overall design and user experience, are typically beyond the scope of what users can modify based on their role. For example, the layout and the overall color scheme would likely require permissions or capabilities that go beyond standard user access, ensuring consistency and adherence to organizational branding and usability standards. Additionally, the number of tabs is often predefined to streamline user experience and maintain a logical flow of information. Thus, users can focus on the data settings applicable to charts, making their experience both personalized and productive.
