To set color palette preferences:
Choose EditPreferences.
In the Preferences dialog box, on the General tab page, set the Color Mode as desired:
Editable. Reports Builder temporarily replaces your system's color palette with the palette of the active report. Each time a new report is made active, its color palette replaces the system palette. The active report will then be shown accurately, although the appearance of the inactive reports may suffer. You must choose Editable if you want to modify the color palette or import or export a color palette.
Read Only - Shared. (Default) Reports Builder continues to append each active report's color palette to your system's original palette until there is no room left in the palette for any more colors. That palette becomes the single palette that all open reports share. If you create a report that uses entirely different colors, it may not be shown accurately.
Read Only - Private. Each time you make a report active, Reports Builder appends that report's color palette to your system's original palette until there is no room left in the palette for any more colors. This palette is then used whenever that report is active. The active report is then shown accurately, although the appearance of the inactive reports may suffer.
If you change the Color Mode, shut down and restart Reports Builder to enable the new mode.
