Specific style definition

The dashboard style file _default_dashboard_styles.xml contains a list of type-specific style templates (styletemplate XML elements) that determine the appearance of process groups, processes, and measure queries in your Performance Dashboard user interface. The style templates specified in this file can be assigned to particular interface items in Dashboard Builder.

Specific display properties can be defined independently for each dashboard by creating a _styles.xml file with the same base name as your dashboard definition file.

Procedure

  1. Copy the default configuration file _default_dashboard_styles.xml to the client directory webapp\WEB-INF\config\<client name>\performancedashboards on your Web application server, where your dashboard definition file is already located.

    The default configuration file _default_dashboard_styles.xml is located in the templates\config\default\performancedashboards subdirectory of your Performance Dashboard installation directory.

  2. Give the copied configuration file the same base name as the definition file for your dashboard. The style file uses the extension _styles.xml instead of _def.xml as in the definition file, e.g., umg_dashboard_style.xml.

If you do not want to use dashboard-specific style templates and the dashboard style file <dashboard name>_styles.xml does not exist in the client directory webapp\WEB-INF\config\<client name>\performancedashboards on your Web application server, the default style templates from the file _default_dashboard_styles.xml in the client directory will be used. If this file does not exist, either, the file _default_dashboard_styles.xml in the directory <PPM installation directory>\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\ppm-web-run-prod-<version>-runnable.zip\ppm\PerformanceDashboard\templates\config\default\performancedashboards is used.
