Define a Color Scheme in Platform Analytics

[timaddison]

Hi everybody! Does anyone know if it's possible to define a color scheme or assign colors in the Platform Analytics environment? My Google-Fu is failing me on a solution for this. I'm building element data visualizations off the Task table [sn_grc_task] based on task assignment and would really like to have the colors be consistent between the elements. Defining chart colors isn't working. Attached are two sample reports. "Total Tasks Open" has the colors set to fixed element color. "Total Tasks Past Due" is a duplicate of "Total Tasks Open" with a modified data filter.

Hi @timaddison ,

You can utilize the chart color scheme from performance analytics:

Hi Anders,

Sorry if I wasn't clear. What I'm trying to do is define colors based on the assignee name so that they're consistent between the charts. When using color schemes, the colors change between the charts (see the screen shots provided above) and Platform Analytics doesn't seem to pick up or use any defined color.

Hi Anders,

Sorry if I wasn't clear. What I'm trying to do is define colors based off of the assignee name so that they're consistent between charts. When utilizing the color schemes, the colors change with the values. I've defined colors for the values, but Platform Analytics doesn't seem to want to use them.

Hi @timaddison ,

I believe the answer to your question is "Chart Colors" that allow you to define specific colors for different field values. You can find these under Reports --> Administration --> Chart Colors

Hello to everyone else also, since I have a problem related to these chart colors.

With "Fixed element color" in a data visualization, I can choose to use predefined "Chart colors" (right?).

But... for some reason, this is acting strangely in some instances. I've submitted a case to ServiceNow but have not received an answer yet, so allow me to try it out here.

Does anyone know why a visualization would show incorrect and even conflicting colors? Here's one bar chart where colors should be defined by the status value. The red color for "Open" is correct. A color for the "Fixed" status is wrong in two ways: First, the turquoise color on the legend is wrong, doesn't match with Chart Colors definition. Second, the orange color on the chart doesn't match with the legend (and it's also wrong, not according to chart colors).

No "Chart Colors" are defined in the instance that would match the turquoise in the legend or the orange on the chart. 

Any ideas?
