3.10.4.6 Applying Predefined Colors to Symbols

You can color the symbols on a map layer by using an attribute column of the dataset that contains predefined color codes.

The following steps enable you to color code the symbols on a map layer.

The instructions assume that the map layer displayed on your Active Project page uses a dataset having a column property that contains color-coded values.

1. Click against the map layer in the Layers tab of the Layers List.
2. Select Settings in the context menu.
3. Configure Style by selecting Column with color codes for the Color value in the Basic panel.
4. Select the Column that contains the color value.

   Note that the color values in the column must be in #RGB notation with the # character included.

   The color code gets applied to the symbols on the map layer. The following figure shows the color-coded symbols on the map layer using the color variable in the dataset:
