VPIV - Create a Custom Defined Color

Add a Defined Color

Defined colors are create to help reduce time editing a panel. This is best used when you have more than one panel using the same colors for cells or text. Creating the defined color allows you to select it over multiple panels. To change or edit the color you would only access Defined Colors once to edit the color. The edited color will display over all the panels once it is saved. Without Defined Colors you would have to edit each color in each individual cell in every panel. There are 2 types of defined colors that can be created, Standard & Custom.
