The interface of the layout manager

Create a colour scheme in the Layout manager, edit or delete an existing one or apply the selected colour scheme to the current document. In the Layout manager you have the possibility to adapt the colour and format of diagrams, tables and texts according to your wishes.

The list

Here you will find information on all available colour schemes. The pie chart symbol to the left of the colour scheme name shows the preview of the respective colour scheme. Click on the arrow symbol to open the detailed view of the colour scheme. You can then view and edit the individual components of the respective colour scheme. The information is divided into three categories: Diagrams, Tables and Texts.

Colour scheme

Apply

Select a colour scheme to be applied to the current document. All tables and texts in the document are then automatically formatted. The colour scheme can only be applied to diagrams by updating them. The corresponding option "Update all graphics" is available for this purpose.

Create

Create a new colour scheme, only the name has to be assigned. The newly created colour scheme is based on either the current existing colour scheme or the firesys layout colour scheme.

Rename

Assign a new name to the selected colour scheme.

Delete

Deletes the selected colour scheme from the Layout manager.

Diagrams

The firesys layout comes with a variety of diagram templates.
These can be customized with the following parameters:

• Axis and data labeling: Here both font color and font type can be adapted to your individual wishes.
• Color of diagram elements: Select a color to adjust the chart elements to your color preferences.

	Good to know
	Excel charts that you have created yourself can also make use of this function. The prerequisite for this is that the colours on which the chart is based are based on the Office design colours.

Tables

Here you have the possibility to individualise the design of your table. The column highlighting and the bar colour can be set for all highlighting variants (previous year, current year, forecast and budget).

Texts

Here you will find information on how to adapt the standard report to your corporate design.
