Re: Dashboard Programming - Colorful categories?

Glad you found it, sorry it took so long. At some point, I grouped the graphic box, text, line, and some of the indicators so they were easier to move around.

If you want the quickest way to grab the boxes, copy and paste one like the Communications box. While selected, ungroup using the rightmost toolbar button with circling arrows on it. Delete the indicator, rename the box, recolor, resize, and potentially reselect and regroup.

If you really want to use these a lot, you can put this onto a new VI and add it to your palettes. Look in the help for customizing palettes, and let me know if you want more info on how to do this. We didn't bother making a dashboard palette, but if the community wants to make some common elements, we could integrate them in for new teams to have easier access to.
