# General format

Here you able to change the general look of your viz such as background color as well as changing the layout.

### Layout

The ‘Dot’ layout is the default view presented when using Process mining. The flow starts at the top and ends at the bottom. The ‘Circo’ layout will be presented as a circle.

### Direction

Use the dropdown to change the direction your flow is presented. By default the extension uses the Top Down direction. This may help when your dashboard requires a horizontal container, changing it to ‘Left -> Right’ will give you the best view.

### Background color

Match your dashboard color by changing the background color. Be sure to format your nodes and link colors to ensure they don’t clash with your chosen background color.

### Reset position

Have your viz reset to its default position once data has been changed. This will help you to not miss any important changes. Once clicked and saved, reload the extension for the changes to be implemented.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/processmining/configuration/general-format.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
