# Personalizing Traffic Lights Widgets

You can enable the traffic light feature for Top Dashboard widgets, or change the default widget thresholds:

1. Open a Top Dashboard.
2. Click the gear icon to the right of the necessary performance metric and select **Personalize**.
3. Select the **Use Warning (yellow) and Critical (red) thresholds for the bar color** check box.
4. Specify values for the **Warning** and **Critical** thresholds.
5. Click **Finish**.

As a result, the bars on the charts will be highlighted with traffic light colors:

- If the **Critical** threshold is breached, performance metric value will be highlighted with *Red*.
- If the **Warning** threshold is breached, performance metric value will be highlighted with *Yellow*.
- If none of the thresholds is breached, performance metric value will be highlighted with *Green*.

For example, the screenshot below shows the **Top Datastores** dashboard with specified thresholds for *Free Space*, *Used Space*, *Disk Pressure* and *Latency* metrics.
