DARTS : Templates

Make Your Reports Easy to Identify

Power BI templates are useful when an office creates multiple reports with the same theme. Having a template reduces the repetitive work and saves your time. Templates can contain visuals, campus's logo, parameters, and other elements, but do not contain data. This page gathered resources to help creating templates. The templates library is available in a folder on the UMS Power BI HUB SharePoint site.

Custom Theme:

Open Power BI Desktop. If you already have a couple of visuals on your report, it will help you see the changes as you pick different themes.
Go to the "View" tab. There are a couple of default theme available from which to choose.
For additional customizations, click the down arrow to expand the window and select "Customize current theme."
Set your colors by entering HEX code. You can also set other features. Microsoft's Use report themes in Power BI Desktop page explains more in detail.
Save as Power BI Template file.

Notes:

A new template file (.pbit) will be created every time you modify your template. You will need to "save as" pbit when changes needs to be saved.
Please consider Accessibility Standards in Power BI.
