Setting Colours

You can customise the “Look and Feel” of the Essential Viewer in terms of the report colour styling. You can set the colour styling(Colour Hex Code) for a number of elements and how they are represented in the Essential Viewer. These elements are:-

• Application Codebases

There are 3 ways this can be achieved and set up. They are described below.
