Indicator Portlet Options - Standard License

Indicator portlet options vary, depending on the indicator type and the license in use. This page describes indicator portlet options for standard license holders. Individual indicator types have unique properties, but on a system with a standard license, all Edit Indicator Portlet dialog boxes contain the following options.

Example of the top portion of an edit indicator portlet dialog box, showing common options.
