This guide shows how to change the look of an Interno dashboard widget — its chart type and its colors — using either the quick editor on a dashboard or the full Widget Builder. For building a widget from data, see How to Build Custom Widgets and Dashboards.
Estimated time: 3–5 minutes
What you'll need: Dashboard edit access (the defence:dashboard:update permission)
Option 1 — Quick change on a dashboard widget (chart type & axes)
Use this for fast tweaks without opening the full builder.
- Open the dashboard and hover over the widget you want to change.
- Click the gear (Change Preview) icon in the widget's top-right corner.
- In the small panel, adjust the x-Axis (category field), y-Axis (value field), and Chart Type.
- Click Apply Changes.
Note: The quick editor changes the chart type and axes. To change colors, use the Widget Builder (Option 2).
Option 2 — Full appearance in the Widget Builder (chart type + colors)
1. Open the Widget Builder
- To create a new widget: on a dashboard click Create > Widget.
- Build a query (choose a Source and Select fields, optionally add Aggregation/Group/Order), then click Preview so a visualization renders on the right.
2. Choose the chart type
In the Visualization panel, use the Chart Type dropdown. Available types include Table, Bar, Horizontal-Bar, Grouped-Bar, Grouped-Horizontal-Bar, Polar-Bar, Pie, Doughnut, Semi-Doughnut, and more (14+ types).
Tip: Colors apply to chart types — not to the Table view. Switch to a chart (e.g. Bar) first to see the color options.
3. Change the colors
- With a chart type selected, click the round color palette icon next to the Chart Type dropdown.
- In the popover, pick a ready-made palette from the palette dropdown — options include Default Palette, Corporate Blue, Dark Purple, and others.
- Click Apply. The chart redraws in the new colors. Use Reset to revert.
4. (Optional) Create your own color palette
- In the color popover, click + Add New Palette.
- In Create New Palette, add colors one at a time — pick a color with the swatch or type a hex code (e.g.
#2563EB), then click Add Color to Palette.
- A palette requires a minimum of 8 colors (the preview shows how many remain).
- Click Create Palette. Your palette now appears in the palette dropdown — select it and click Apply.
5. Save
Click Create Widget (top-right of the Visualization panel) to save the widget with its chart type and colors. Add it to a dashboard via Edit Dashboard if needed.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to do |
|---|
| I don't see the color palette icon | It only appears for chart types, not the Table view. Switch the Chart Type to a chart (e.g. Bar). |
| "Create Palette" is disabled | A palette needs at least 8 colors. Keep adding colors until the requirement is met. |
| Colors didn't change | Click Apply after selecting the palette, and Create Widget / Save to keep the change. |
| I can't edit the widget at all | Editing needs the defence:dashboard:update permission. Ask your administrator. |
