When pinning a Tile (e.g. a card) to a dashboard, only parts of the formatting get carried over. It would be nice if all formattings are being transferred.

For example: I have built a Multirow card with blue background color and white font. When I pin it to a dashboard, the tile seems to be empty, because the font color white was carried over, but not the background color. So what is written in the card is not readable.

RE: Tile background colour

This is a major need for our internal users as well as external clients' needs. Please add this functionality.I am very surprised it does not exist already!

RE: Tile background colour

Not just colour, flashing the number and being able to display string also instead of just number. For example, I need a "P1" flashing on screen in RED colour as soon as a P1 ticket is created. I am using Powershell script to create the continuous stream dataset.

RE: Tile background colour

This is a must have when we do Streaming data (Push Dataset) based dash board. We want Production Line workers to see a glaring RED color on specific metrics if they go down by a certain threshold. Right now, the tile is loosing formatting when it's pinned to the Report. I cannot share the report as the report does not auto update when the dataset is updated. THIS IS A HUGE MISS of a feature!!! WITHOUT THIS, live dashboard is not practical!

RE: Tile background colour

I'm trying to create block colour tiles in a dashboard to align with my organisation's newly implemented branding but the dashboard functionality is extremely limited and does not allow this. Ability to change the background of individual tiles would be very useful.
