The previous formatting options, that were displayed on the right-hand side of the screen are now hidden by default. If you haven’t upgraded to the October 2021 version of the dashboard, or you need to access this formatting section, you can click ‘Show Advanced Options’.

This will allow users to format an entire text box, the card itself, the body of the card or the footer section. The 'Advanced Options' section can not be used to format individual words or characters, when you use this formatting option you will be formatting everything in the selected text box etc in the same way.

If you have multiple sections on the card, remember to click into the section that you want to format.

You can also type HTML code into a text box to format the card.

To apply formatting, click the drop-down arrow next to the relevant format option.

Example

The section containing the text ‘Number of Employees’ has been formatted to be a larger font size and bold formatting has been applied.

There are 3 additional options in the Formatting section on the right-hand side of the Card. These can be used to:

Card – this selects the entire card and is a quick and useful way to format all elements of the card in the same way. For example, if you want the same font and point size for everything on the card.

Body –this section can be used to apply a background colour, for example, to the body area of the card. This option would exclude applying the formatting to the Footer section.

Footer – the footer section is where Charts appear. You can change how much of this area is displayed on the card by selecting the Footer option and either increasing or decreasing the Height option in the Formatting section.
