Managed Dashboards and Reports
Description |
|---|
The Quick Access Properties popup now appears on right-click instead of left-click in edit mode. For visualizations containing multiple elements, a single right-click brings up settings applicable to the clicked element rather than a second left click. |
The Properties window has been redesigned to improve usability, provide more consistent organization, and be more approachable to new users. The locations of some properties have changed: for example, the Layout and Text tabs are now categories under Design, and the Actions category is now a tab. To change an element’s display name, double-click it directly at the top of the window. If you have difficulty finding a setting, the related documentation articles contain updated guidance. Categories are collapsed by default, however you can use their existing double-click or right-click shortcut options. |
