Select Colors

Top List Windows have more color capabilities than Alert Windows. Here, you have two options, you can either color entire grid rows based on one filter or color each filter column separately.

Option 1: Color the entire grid row

To color the entire grid row, right-click into the Top List, select Properties, and then Select Colors. This will bring up the Top List Color Chooser Menu.

The left-hand side displays the current color scheme in use. With each color representing a numeric value, the color gradually changes as the value ascends and descends.

At the center, you'll see 7 pre-configured color palettes, each with 5 numerical placeholders. The placeholders could represent different percentage intervals in case of a Change from Close filter, or Dollar amounts, or Share numbers. It is entirely up to you to define the values and color code them.

Selecting one of the color palettes will change the color scheme of your Top List.

The preconfigured color palettes and numerical placeholders are optional, you can add as many numerical values and colors as you like.

Top right, a dropdown menu shows all available filter columns.

Use the search box below the drop-down list to find a particular filter.

The Top List Window will turn white if you highlight a filter, not in the Top List.

Highlight the filter column you would like to define a color scheme for.

Use the text field above the Add/Edit button to enter a new numeric value.

You can set each numeric value to have the same color by choosing the equal symbol or use the less than, equal, and/or greater than symbols to differentiate even further. Once you have made your selection, press the Add/Edit button.

To change the color scheme of an existing numeric value, highlight it. Once selected, an arrow will appear on the right-hand side.

Change the color by selecting the equal, less than, or greater than symbol, then select a color from the popup menu and hit OK. Then press Add/Edit.

To change the current color order, select the Flip Colors button.

To remove a numeric value and associated color scheme, highlight it and select the Delete button.

To remove the entire current scheme and start from scratch, select the Delete All button.

To undo changes and go back to a previous color scheme, select it from the Select recent or suggested settings field at the bottom left-hand side.

Hit OK when you are done.

Option 2: Color individual filter column

To assign a color to an individual filter column, right-click the text header of the particular column in your Top List and select Custom Colors for XYZ. This will bring up the Top List Color Chooser Menu.

The field on the top right-hand side shows the chosen filter column.

The left-hand side displays the current or last color scheme in use.

With each color representing a numeric value, the color gradually changes as the value ascends and descends.
