Cards - other settings

The Others tab contains miscellaneous options like changing the orientation, disabling helper tooltips, setting highlight colors for data labels, etc.

Many of the display settings for cards and charts are identical. Please refer to Other settings for charts if you are unable to find a specific setting on this page.

Let's get started!

You can switch between vertical and horizontal orientations.

9. Overflow color handling type

Analytics+ themes are assigned a specific range of colors.

  • IBCS and dark themes - 15 colors

  • xViz theme - 49 colors

  • White themes- 54 colors

When you have stacked charts, the number of categories may exceed the number of assigned colors. In such cases, you can choose how to handle the extra colors using the Overflow color handling type option.

Overflow color handling type options
  • Module: Consider that you are using an IBCS theme with 15 colors. When the number of categories exceeds 15, the colors are repeated i.e. the 16th category will be assigned the same color as the 1st category and so on.

  • Opacity reducer: This option is similar to the Module option, however, the categories after the 15th category will be assigned the same colors with a 10% reduction in opacity. For each set of 15 categories, the opacity is reduced.

  • Random: This option does not adhere to a specific theme, colors are randomly assigned to additional categories.

  • Blend: The additional categories will be assigned a color that is a blend of the colors in the previous sequence. For instance, the 16th color will a combination of the 1st and 2nd color.

10. Charts animation

Animating charts can make data visualization more engaging. Each time a chart is rendered in Analytics+, it is accompanied by animation when this option is enabled.
