Dashboard Chart Color Management

By abhijit.kakhandiki on August 25, 2009 7:36 AM

I have been asked by several customers about managing colors in charts and graphs in the PLM Dashboard. This issue came up recently as well, and I am taking this opportunity to make this information widely available via our PLM blog. There are two primary issues that customers normally have regarding this. The first one is maintaining general consistency between dashboard charts across tabs i.e. all solid colors v/s matted v/s borders etc. The second issue is more important in my mind and relates to having a consistent color representation for the same status across all tabs and charts so as to not confuse users. e.g. all Change Orders in 'Released' status should be displayed in Green across all tabs. This blog post addresses both issues and should provide customers and consultants with some good tips on managing colors in the PLM Dashboard.

It can range from the simple such as autofill of attributes in an object to the complex such as tying-in of related business processes. This blog post covers simple automation examples for PPM. Later posts will cover extensive automation to model business processes such as Ideation, Preliminary CAD Design and Prototyping.
