Charts, Pies, and Maps use color schemes to distinguish the data points from each other in the graphical display. Colors are automatically assigned by the dashboard when data is available for display. It is not necessary to pre-configure colors for data items not currently displayed.
To change the automatically assigned colors for data items for the selected dashboard:
-
Launch the dashboard designer. The designer can be launched in several ways:
-
The dashboard designer is automatically launched when the dashboard is first created.
-
From the Dashboard Gallery area, select the dashboard to design in the left pane then click the Design button in the Dashboard ribbon group.
-
From the Administration area, click Dashboards in the left pane and select the dashboard to design, then click the Design button in the Dashboard ribbon group.
-
From the dashboard Properties dialog box, click the Design button at the bottom of the dialog box.
The dashboard designer is opened in a new user interface.
-
-
From the Data Providers ribbon group, click Edit Colors.
The Global Color Scheme dialog box is displayed.
Note:The colors configured in the Global Color Scheme dialog box are only applied to the dashboard currently loaded in the designer.
-
From the drop-down list at the top of the dialog box, select the dashboard element to change colors for. The data items configured for that element are listed.
Note:The New Color Table functionality allows you to add and pre-configure color schemes for data elements not currently in the dashboard. Due to the complexity of manual configuration, it is not recommended to try and pre-configure data elements. To configure the colors for a data element, add it to the dashboard first.
-
To change a color, click the value in the Color column to display the color palette.
