Setting Certainty Band Type and Colors

By default, the trend chart certainty bands are displayed as solid-colored areas. You can change the bands from solid areas to uncolored areas bordered by lines. You can also change the color of each certainty band.

  To change the chart type or color settings:

  1. Choose Preferences, then Chart, then Chart Type.

    The Chart Type tab of the Chart Preferences dialog opens.

  2. To change all certainty bands from areas to lines, choose Line in the Chart Type drop-down list.

  3. To change the color of a certainty band:

    1. Select the certainty band to change from the list below the Certainty Bands button.

    2. Select a color from the Band Color list.

  4. To select a different set of certainty levels or define the own, click the Certainty Bands button and follow the steps in the next section, Setting Certainty Bands

  5. Optional: You can choose Defaults at any time to restore all settings to their original default values.

  6. Optional: To apply the settings to more than one chart, click Apply To. Then, specify how they should be applied (see Applying Settings to the Current Chart and Other Charts for details) and click OK. Otherwise, go to step 7.

  7. When settings are complete, click OK to accept current settings on all tabs of the Chart Preferences dialog.

    You can use the Chart Series list at the top of the Chart Type tab to change the order of forecasts in the forecast axis. For instructions, see Adding, Removing, and Ordering Forecasts.
