Colour Map

A colour map allows you 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.

The toolbar has the standard icons. For information about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. For information about other property tabs, see Property Tabs.

For each colour map, the following settings are configured:

Field	Description
Basic Settings
Name	Name of the colour map.
Colour Map Entries
A list of of the colour map entries. For each colour map entry, the following settings are configured:
Name	Name of the colour map entry. The name must exactly match the label/string that the colour is being assigned to. This label will differ between different types of views. Examples of two different types of graph are included below.
Value	Choose a colour from the colour picker.
Description
Description	Description of this colour map.

Examples:

Colour Mapping Configuration Panel

The above Colour Mapping record was applied to both of the below graph views.

Pie charts

Note that for this pie chart view, the Label Attribute = "Status Type", and status type has the following possible values, each of which require their own record in the Colour Mapping Entries panel.

ERROR
WARNING
INFO
OK

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.

Hence, in the initial screenshot above, all of the 6 Entries in the Colour Mapping record are required for the colour mapping to be configured properly.
