Edit diagrams

Adapt diagrams to your corporate design. You have the possibility to design your diagrams individually. These include, among other things, axis and data captions as well as the colouring of the individual diagram elements.

Functions

You can customise your charts with the following parameters.

Axis and data caption
Here, both font colour and font type can be adapted to your individual wishes.

Colour of the individual data types
Select a colour for the individual data types (previous year, current year, forecast, budget) here.

Colour of the individual arrows
Select a colour for the individual arrows (Positive Development and Negative Development) here.

Related elements are displayed in the “Edit Diagrams” dialogue when you hold the mouse pointer over the corresponding element. Clicking on the respective element opens an editing dialogue where you can choose between a variety of colours. When selecting colours, you have the option of either defining a custom colour using RGB values or selecting a colour from the Office colour palette.

In the Layout manager, click on the arrow symbol next to Diagram to display all diagram elements in the list. If you select one of the list elements and then click on Edit, the position of the corresponding element is marked by a red arrow.
