Change Default Colors for Charting Objects

Where these defaults apply:

  • Multi-Metric charting. NOTE: Multi-Metrics are not supported in v7.
  • Overlays in charts
  • Dataset Reporting charts
  • Moving average lines in Metrics

To change default charting colors for charting objects in v7, refer to Charts Tab.
