Visual Setup

When you configure a data source, you can adjust the default settings for visuals that use the data source on the data source configuration Visuals tab. The default settings vary by visual style. For information about the default settings for a visual style, select a visual style in the visual reference.

Settings that are common for all visual styles (time bar and search settings) can be specified in Global Default Settings on the Visuals tab of a data source configuration. See Configuring Time Bar Defaults.

To add a visual using the default visual settings defined in a data source configuration, see:

• Creating Dashboards
• Adding Visuals to the Visual Gallery
• Adding New Visuals to a Dashboard
• Placing Existing Visuals on a Dashboard

After the visual has been created, you can alter its settings. See The Visual Interface.
