Defining default fonts and colors for objects in the dossier

You can select the font used to display all text in the dossier, the font used for the titles of all filters and visualizations, and the background color and border used for all containers. Containers display the visualizations, filters, text, images, and HTML containers on a dossier.

Formatting options for individual objects in the dossier, such as individual visualizations, images, filters, etc., override formatting at the dossier level. Use formatting at the dossier level to provide the default display options, and then customize each object as necessary.

Note: To provide a unified appearance, you can display all objects with a gray background and black border, using dossier level formatting options. However, to make a single visualization stand out, you can select a white background and red border.

As you make changes, the new formats appear in the preview pane on the right.
