Chart Styling Template- select the default colours for the charts.
The chart properties allow colours to be set for up to 10 time series within each chart. A specific Chart Property template can be applied to the entire application (via the Edit Application Details Module) which would then make that template the default for the application.
IF an alternate Chart Template is created, it can be applied to a specific Event Form (Via the Chart Properties in the Advanced Form Properties). If this is set, it will override the Application Template settings. See the "Chart Styling Changes for the Application" document.
IF a user has set colours and size properties for a field within an Event Form for an In Form Report or a field that is set as Chart by Default, then these settings will override any Form Chart Styling Templates, AND/OR the Application Properties Styling Template. For more on setting up individual colours and properties on a field by field basis in an Event Form, see the document on "Set the chart properties (colour, line width and transparency) for each field within an Event Form".
To set the colours for the template, go to the Chart Properties in the Builder Site
Create a new Chart Template (or update an existing one)
Up to 10 colours can be preset for the charts within an Event Form. Note, the first Time Series Colour will ALWAYS be applied as the first colour for each field in an In Form Report, and/or a Chart by Default field
To set the desired colour, first click on the Time Series Colour #1.
A colour selector pop up appears. The example here shows the colour being set for the 1st Time Series in each Chart
Scroll to the spectrum required, and then select the desired colour
Click in a cell to select the colour
Or, type in the # code into the text field (1) and click the green tick (2)
The selected colour appears. Select additional colours using the same work flow, and so on and so forth.
10 series are available to select. However, most charts will only display up to 3 fields, so the first 3 colours are the most important to set.
Select the colour of the second time series in a chart.
Note, the example here shows the selected colours for the first three time series have been set and how they correspond with charted fields in an In Form Report
Note, the 1st Time Series Colour will be applied to the first time series field shown in each chart. This means if there are 8 charts, they will ALL have blue as the first colour for their first time series field.
Once the Chart Template has been completed, and the width and fill properties have been set for the charts, save the Template
If this template is applied to the application, these colours will be the colours that appear by default (if no other charting properties are set in the Event Form, or for the charted Event Field)
For example, no template has been set for this Event Form, OR for any chart by default or In Form Report fields (e.g., the individual chart properties are set as "Default")
Any In Form Charts or Chart by Default fields in the Event Form will appear based on the application Chart Template settings
