In Explore, admins can set default chart colors and export settings that apply across the entire account. This helps you maintain consistency across the charts and exports generated from your account.
This article contains the following topics:
Setting default chart colors
Admins can set the default chart colors and color coding that apply when new reports are created in Explore.
To set default chart colors
- In Explore, click the Admin icon ().
- In the menu at the top of the page, click the Account information icon ().
- Under Select chart default colors, select the colors to apply to report
visualizations.
You can use the Palette, Sequential, and Diverging tabs to select predefined color sets that work well together, or you can select your own colors using the color picker or by entering a hex code.
Colors are applied to report elements in the order they appear on this screen. For example, if you used the color scheme from the image above and added two metrics to a report, the first metric would appear in red in the chart, and the second would appear in blue. - Under Chart default color coding colors, select the colors that should be applied when a metric is color-encoded in a report.
