The Site Settings in the Visual KPI Designer allow you to change settings that affect your entire Visual KPI site. Any settings you change here are enabled sitewide.
The Site Settings icon () opens another toolset that allows you to configure all sorts of crazy things in your Visual KPI sites. Any changes you save will show up immediately in the Visual KPI site to which you are connected while editing these configurations. Users on the site will see changes you make when data refreshes.
Sitewide settings are grouped. Hover over each to see all of the site settings available.
When you select one of the site settings options, a worksheet opens with the related configuration data.
For each worksheet, icons appear in the toolbar that affect only the data related to the selected worksheet. Learn more about Object Types and the Object Toolbar
