Hello Team,

I am using Helical Insight. I want to change the background color of a chart/report. Is it possible to customize it? If yes, how can I achieve this? I am using open source BI helical insight version 6.1 enterprise edition.

Thanks,
Netta.

Hello Netta,

Yes, you can change the background color at the report level using custom CSS by targeting the specific component ID of the report.

To apply this:

• Hover on the Meatball icon beside the filter
• Click on Operations
• You will see two options: JS and CSS
• Click on CSS and add your styling

Example CSS:

#hi-report-d9fdc51b {
background: #f2f2f2 !important;
}

Replace the component ID (hi-report-XXXX) with your actual report ID.

This approach allows you to customize the background color for any chart or report in Helical Insight.

However if you are using the report in a dashboard, then there is a direct right click UI driven option itself allowing you to specify background color, border, shadow, header and many other things. Read how to do that in dashboard here : Right-Click Operations In Dashboard Designer - Helical Insight

Thank You,
Helical Insight Team.
