Temporarily Apply or Remove Consistent Colors Usage from Graphs

If the Use Consistent Graph Colors option is enabled at the system level, you can toggle between applying and not applying consistent colors at the graph level. This gives you flexibility when the colors assigned to the graph make it unreadable (for example, more than one data set displays the same color). Toggling between color states is useful when graphs with multiple metrics are used and the legend displays only one color.

If consistent colors are currently applied to a graph, you can toggle to the “Default Colors” (that is, non-consistent colors) option in the Actions menu. Conversely, if consistent colors is currently not applied to a graph, you can toggle to the “Consistent Colors” option in the Actions menu.

The changes you make at a graph portlet level during a CA Clarity PPM session are only available in that session. Once you log out, these changes are lost. To make the changes available outside a session, you must configure the graph portlet.

To Temporarily Apply or Remove Consistent Colors from a Graph

1. Click the Actions menu for a graph portlet.
2. Select Consistent Colors or Default Colors depending on the setting (Default or Consistent) that is currently applied to the graph.
