A colour map allows you to specify colours for selected charts attributes or series. It allows one attribute to have the same colour across multiple charts, regardless their type and the number or sequence of other attributes.

A colour map can be assigned to a chart in the chart's editor.

For each colour map, the following setting settings are configured:

Bar Graph

Note that for the above bar graph, the Label Attribute = Status Type + "Portions", (list below- each require their own record in the Colour Mapping Entries panel). 

  • ERROR Portions
  • WARNING Portions
  • INFO Portions
  • OK Portions

This is because the bar graph is a sum of the "Portions" attribute, grouped by Status Type.
