# Board customizations

You can customize the entire storyboard by adjusting the scale, setting a background color, and adding a border. Analytics+ also provides options like grid lines to streamline your designing experience. Let's navigate to the Properties > Board > Canvas tab and explore the board customization options available in Analytics+.  

### 1. Dimension type 

Tailor the dimensions of your dashboard based on its intended display medium (e.g., A4, Desktop, TV, tablet, mobile, etc). Analytics+ supports the layout scaling options shown below:

### 2. Dimension

Specify the width and height of the dashboard.

### 3. Background color

Set a custom background color for your dashboard.

### 4. Corner radius

The **Corner Radius** property allows you to adjust the roundness of the corners of your storyboard. A higher value results in more rounded corners, while a value of **0** creates sharp, square corners. You can set a uniform corner radius with the **All** option or specify the radius for individual corners with the **Custom** option.

### 5. Show grid lines

Gridlines help in maintaining consistent spacing between dashboard components. Gridlines allow for better distribution of content by dividing the dashboard canvas into evenly sized and spaced sections.

### 6. Show smart guides

Smart guides help align and position dashboard elements. Notice the lines that appear when trying to re-position an element? These smart lines allow us to place elements in the same row or column as other elements in the dashboard.

### 7. Lock elements

You cannot resize or reposition existing elements when you lock them. You can still insert and customize new elements.
