Part 8 Apply customization options with dashboard default settings
By adjusting the dashboard default settings, you can avoid repetition while applying the same customization options to multiple visualizations or data sources. For example, you can apply a default setting to just one type of visualization, such as an area chart. Or, you can apply a default setting to all visualizations, but exclude one type.
More local, or specific, default settings override more global, or generic, default settings. Adjusting the settings of one particular area chart, for example, overrides any default settings set for all area charts.
