Themes and PDF

A theme dresses what you show: the font of titles and of text (charts included), the title color, the accent, the page and card backgrounds, card corners and shadow, the chart palette, the logo, and the PDF layout.

Creating a theme

Administration › Themes (administrators only): New theme, then each setting, with a live preview beside it — a small dashboard and its charts in the theme.

Setting	What it changes
Fonts	Titles, and text and charts: about twenty Google Fonts, serif or sans-serif; title weight and case
Colors	Accent (active tab, filters, links), titles, text, page background, card background and border
Cards	Corner radius, shadow
Charts	The palette every chart uses unless it chose its own — one of the checked palettes, or yours; bar fill (solid, hatched, gradient) and bar radius
Logo	An image (PNG, SVG, JPEG, WebP; 220 KB at most) or its address; height, left or right of the title
PDF printing	Landscape or portrait, cover page, footer

In dark mode, a theme keeps its fonts, accent, palette and logo; backgrounds and text follow dark mode.

Applying a theme: inheritance

A theme is applied to a folder, from its header (the Theme picker, next to the icon): the folder, its subfolders, their questions and their dashboards all wear it. A subfolder may wear another one; everything inside it then follows its own. The picker always tells you what is inherited and from where: Inherited: Maison (from “Sales”).

A dashboard can also have its own (Settings › Theme), which wins over its folder’s. A question takes its folder’s theme — or its dashboard’s when it belongs to one. Share links and embeds wear the theme of the shared content.

A theme grants no permission: it only dresses what a person can already see.

Printing to PDF

On a dashboard, ⋯ › Export to PDF opens its print layout, then the browser’s print dialog: choose Save as PDF.

• a cover page in the theme: logo, title, description, date and applied filters;
• the cards, tab after tab, on A4 pages: a row of cards is never split across two pages;
• vector charts (sharp at any zoom), drawn without animation, with the filters as they were on screen;
• in the footer, the theme’s text (or the dashboard’s name) and page numbers.
