Understand Color Codes

Define different colors for the display of values in resource bar charts. A resource bar chart is then allocated to one of the interval sets defined here.

Ways to access

In the Tilos Explorer, expand Library > Other Libraries > Color Codes from the libraries and you will see a list of existing color codes in the working area.

Steps

In the Tilos Explorer, click to expand Library > Other Libraries and double-click Color Codes to see a list of existing codes in the working window. Only the most important resource bar chart color code properties are shown in the table.
Use the buttons on the right to:
- Add Color Code - Add a new blank row in the table in which you can define another color code.
- Delete Color Code - Remove a selected color code row.
- Edit Properties - Open the Color Code dialog for a selected code where you can specify/edit the Name and Color Codes. For details, see the Setting Unit Properties help topic.
To edit which columns are shown in the Units table, right-click a column header and select Setup to open the Spreadsheet Settings dialog. You can also Lock columns, Copy data to clipboard, and Reset to default from this context menu.
