Custom Colour themes for Charts

Product Filter HighQ Collaborate
Product Area Filter System administration

As of version 5.5, we have introduced the ability to have custom colour themes for your charts. This means that system administrators will now have the ability to edit existing themes in an instance.

Please note that editing themes will apply to all charts using that theme within your instance

Edit themes

To access the themes within the system administration, navigate to your drop down menu and click System admin:

The System admin section will be displayed. Within the system admin section, navigate to Customize:

The Customize screen will be displayed. Within the Customize screen, navigate to Data visualization charts > Themes:

Click Customize to open the Custom themes screen:

Please note that the ability to change the name and colours of these themes will not apply to the None theme, as this is built into the chart library and cannot be edited

Select the theme you want to customise. The Advanced Customisation screen will be displayed:

Within the Advanced Customisation screen, you can:

  • Edit the name of the theme
  • Change existing colours
  • Add new colours via the Add button

Please note that the name is used to describe the theme in the list of themes when configuring a chart

Once you have customised your theme, click Apply to apply your changes. If you wish to undo your changes before applying them, click Reset, to reset them. 

Please note that the custom theme will not be included in a Solution Template if it is exported.

A chart will automatically show how the theme will be displayed on a default pie chart, so that you can confirm that the theme works as expected and looks how you want it to look.

If you click Reset when you are customising a theme, it will undo the changes that you have just made. If you click Apply and close the window, you can still cancel those changes via Cancel on the Customize screen

Please note that if you click Restore default, all themes will be restored to the default HighQ themes
