A colour map allows you _standard_settings

This page provides details of the properties for a colour map, which is part of screen design.

Overview

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

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

Chart

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). 

For this bar chart, the  Label Attribute is "Status Type" followed by the word "Portions", as follows:

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

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

The colour map has an entry for each status.

Hence, in the initial screenshot above, all of the entries in the Colour Mapping record are required for the colour mapping to be configured properly
