Hello,
I am looking for customizing color themes for SAS BI Dashboard components like Pie Chart, Indicators etc.

Good resources for colour usage and choosing colour combinations include

Good resources for dashboard design include Information Dashboard Design and Show Me The Numbers by Stephen Few.
Avoid pie charts and gauges - their data:ink ratio (aka information transfer effectiveness) is poor.
For an amazing dashboard see http://bzintelguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/May-2010-unemployment-dash-8-x-11.png
Hi Nitin,
Are you looking for something like Theme Designer in SAS.You can see this document
SAS(R) Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex: User's Guide
or you can define you own custom theme.
Thanks,
Shiva
Thanks Shiva. Will check out this document.
I am not able to see any documentation about customizing color palatte for SAS BI Dashboard Pie chart/ Bar Graph's etc. (As these do not have indicator definitions where I can customize their color).
Has anyone tried this before?
-Nithin.
Opened SAS Track to enquire about customizing color palatte for SAS BI Dashboard objects like Pie chart/ Bar Graph etc. & got an update this feature is currently not available & would be added to future enhancements !!!
