Request for generic color coding symbols

Tim L

Please consider the addition of a "Generic" category of color symbols that we may attach to text/number columns for personalized categorization driven by formulas, etc.

For colors, I would recommend a standard ROYGBIV plus black and gray.

For symbol types, I would provide the above color scheme for circles, squares, stars and triangles at a minimum.

If the code modules for symbols are easy to duplicate and adjust, and we cannot have the capability to create our own symbol sets, this would seem to be a suitable compromise to provide the users with a flexible solution in order to improve the UX of the platform.

Please let us know if this is a feasible request and if it is something that the development team will consider. Thanks.

Hi Tim,

We do have symbol columns that you can explore, which can be driven by formulas that look at a text/number column.
