Define a Custom Color for a Slice in a Doughnut/Pie Chart Widget

Use the Custom Colors page (accessed from within the Chart Series window) to define a custom color for a specific slice (value) in a Doughnut/Chart Widget (example: Make reopened Incidents (Status=Reopened) red to signify a higher priority).

The Chart Series window is accessed from within the Widget Manager when you create or edit a Chart Widget, and then add a Series.

Good to know:

• By default, slice colors come from the Chart Color Palette defined in a Dashboard Theme; selecting a custom color overrides the Dashboard Theme palette.
• Dashboard Theme colors/styles can also be overridden on a per Widget basis (see Display tab).

1. Create a Chart Widget
2. In the Chart Series window, click the Custom Colors page.
