Define custom colors for a report

   The Customize Colors window opens...

   

4. Select one of the following:

   Option	Description
   Use default palette	Click to use the predefined color combinations on the Performance Test Reports preference page... Window | Preferences | Test | Performance Test Reports
   Define simple palette	Click to define a simple array of colors. The first color is assigned to the first graphic element. The second color is assigned to the second graphic element, and so on.
   Define conditional palettes	Click to define a color used when a graphic matches an expression. For example, you can make a bar turn red when its value is >= 1000 ms, or a table cell turn green when its value = "Passed".

5. Click OK.

6. To apply the palette to all results opened with this report, save the report (File > Save). When you open other results with the saved report, the palette is applied to the result.

Results

You have now assigned custom colors to a report. If you have defined a conditional palette, you can open the report during a run and see it change colors when it satisfies the values that you have set.
