Setting up and using custom colours in pie, bar, column and line charts
Natural HR can be branded with your company logos and colours by going to
Administration > Company > Settings > Branding settings
Here you can see listed all the branding templates that have been set up for your company. In this example there is a MWCS Corporate template which applies to all sites, with the exception of two sites which have their own branding templates.
You can create new site templates with different logos and colours by clicking on 'Add', when you have completed the template you can add it to a site by going to
Administration > HR > Data management > Sites
Click on the 'Edit' action for the site you want to add the template to
At the bottom of the page you can select one of your templates to apply from the 'Site template' option
After clicking on 'Submit' to finish, your employees who log in to the site will appear in your chosen branded colours
Analytics colours
If you create Pie, Bar, Column or Line charts using the Natural HR analytics report builder feature, the charts will appear using default Natural HR system colours.
This is a dashboard using the default MWCS Corporate template and default Natura; HR system colours
and this is a dashboard created by a manager who is part of the Witheridge site with its own branded site template. The dashboard is also using the default Natural HR system colours.
Please note: Tile report colours are set up as part of creating the report, please click here to read more about creating tile reports.
Custom analytics colours
Natural HR provides a facility to create custom colours for use in your Pie, Bar, Column and Line charts by going to
Administration > Company > Settings > Branding settings
Either create a new, or edit an existing branding template as described above. Scroll down to the bottom of the page or click on the 'Analytics colours' menu. Here you will see 10 colours which you can edit and choose a custom colour for each.
Please note: Any colour you do not fill in will render according to the default colour scheme - if there are more than 10 colours required on your chart, the colours will then loop again from 0 through 9 and so on.
Choose your colours either by entering a hexadecimal value for a colour e.g. #0c3c6d or
1. move the slider up or down then
2. move the mouse around in the colour box to achieve the colour you want.
Click on 'Choose' to save the colour then 'Submit to save all the changes.
All charts which are created in the same Natural HR environment using the MWCS corporate template will now use the custom analytics colours
Please note: This will not change the colours of any Pie, Bar, Column or Line chart created in a different site specific template. These will continue to use the system default colours until you edit the analytics colours in that template.
Reset all colours and remove CSS
At the bottom of the branding template page there is a 'Reset all colours and remove CSS' button. This will remove the branding colours from you site(s) AND return your analytics colours to the system default colours.
Logos will not be affected.
You will need to repeat this for all sites that you wish to remove branding and analytics colours from.
