We’re excited to introduce **Conditional** thresholds to the table dashboards, helping you to quickly surface trends, outliers, and key indicators to enhance data readability at a glance. This feature allows you to apply flexible color rules to rows and cells, making it easy to highlight values that breach defined thresholds. [Learn more](/docs/dashboards/panels/modify-chart/#modify-the-thresholds).

1. Optionally, add another override by selecting **Add New Override** and completing steps 2 - 4.
1. To save your customized settings and return to the dashboard, click **Update Dashboard** in the upper right corner of the window.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/dashboards/panels/modify-chart/MC_Update_Dashboard.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="MC_Update_Dashboard" width="300"/>

## Modify the thresholds

:::note
This feature is only applicable for [Table charts](/docs/dashboards/panels/table-charts.md).
:::

The ability to modify the threshold allows you to define warning and critical thresholds.

1. Click the Thresholds icon in the far right menu bar.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/dashboards/panels/modify-chart/Threshold_icon.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="Threshold_icon" width="400"/>
1. Click the toggle in the **Thresholds** pane.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/metrics/thresholds-toggle.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="Thresholds_icon" width="400"/>
1. You can set the thresholds in two ways, **Classic** or **Conditional**:
- **Classic:**
1. Configure the appropriate comparator and threshold values, based on your data and requirements. You can choose from the following comparators.
- **greater than**. Any value greater than the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **greater than or equal to**. Any value greater than or equal to the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **less than**. Any value less than the value you specify will violate this threshold.
- **less than or equal**. Any value less than or equal to the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **includes**. Any value between the two values you specify will violate the threshold.
- **excludes**. Every value NOT between the two values you specify will violate the threshold.
1. If you toggle the **Fill remaining area as green** option, the portion of the chart with no thresholds is shaded in green.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/metrics/thresholds-default.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="Thresholds_Classic_icon" width="400"/>
- **Conditional:**
1. **Column**. Select the column for which the threshold condition should apply.
1. **Threshold Dsiplay**. Select the type of visibility you need once the condition is breached.
- **Row Background**. Highlights the entire row for which the threshold value is breached.
- **Row Text**. Highlights the entire row texts for which the threshold value is breached.
- **Cell Background**. Highlights the cell of the selected column for which the threshold value is breached.
- **Cell Text**. Highlights only the cell text of the selected column for which the threshold value is breached.
1. **Threshold**. You can select the color that needs to be displayed when the breach occurs. Additionally, you can configure the appropriate comparator and threshold values.
- **equals**. Any value equal to the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **contains**. Any value containing the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **does not contain**. Any value not containing the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **greater than**. Any value greater than the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **greater than or equal to**. Any value greater than or equal to the value you specify will violate the threshold.
- **less than**. Any value less than the value you specify will violate this threshold.
- **less than or equal**. Any value less than or equal to the value you specify will violate the threshold.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('/img/dashboards/panels/modify-chart/Threshold_Conditional_icon.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="Threshold_Conditional_icon" width="400"/>
:::note
You can add upto 10 threshold conditions.

:::info
If both thresholds and display overrides are applied to a table chart, the display overrides will take precedence.
:::

## Modify chart axes

You can easily change the displays of the X and Y axes.
