Custom Color Pallete in WebI/Rich Client

Hi,

We have a requirement to rebrand all of our reports in terms of look and feel.

I have one requirement to show color of lines, bars in graphs in specific order. I am able to acheive it by editing the color pallette and by selcting it. However, all of my team members have to use the same pallette.

Is there any way that my custom palette can appear along with standard palette??

I don’t have access to check if this works by setting the pallette in server. Appreciate your inputs.

Hi,

Yes, there is one way you could do that. You can set your custom color palette as default palette so that everyone can use it without having to change the palette. You need to have good set of colors list with you though. If you have one, for next step go to this link.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mohammed,

This worked like a charm when I used it for WebI Rich Client. Passed it on to support team to place it in server as well. Thanks…

Does a restart of CMS required after placing the file in server?

I have a major issue related to Custom pallete in Bo 4.1 v5

I have Products on Legend/series , Year on X axis and Revenue measure on Y axis. I also have a dynamic Year prompt which brings in 4 years of data every time.

Example - if I select 2011, will get data for 2011,2012,2013,2014.

Now the Product highest in sales should be assigned Green, 2nd highest yellow, 3rd Red etc. I achieved this using custom pallette for Year 2014

Problem is as soon as I change year , My custom palletet changes for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and catches default pallette.

Can anyone help in fixing it .

Nothing to fix :).

Have a look at alerting / conditional formatting instead.

My mistake, I did not mention its a chart, so I doubt alerts would work on it.

As the year changes it picks up some random palette. :hb:

I thought BO custom palette in 4.1 was good and assign colors for highest product group as green, 2nd as orange based on my sorting which it does but unsure when year changes it .palette no longer gets applied

Any ideas??

Thanks rgoulart, for your reply but it doesn’t fit my requirement.

I can’t do any hardcoding as all values will be dynamic. I have posted my question as a new topic just to clarify what I am looking for

Hi Karna,

Even I am facing the same issue.

Palette color of the stacked bar changes from custom to random when the year part in the date prompt changes.

Any workaround you found for this issue?

Anyone’s help is much appreciated.
