+author: Natalia Kazakova

+# Add Dashboard Items
+To create a dashboard item in the Dashboard Designer, click the corresponding button in the **Home** ribbon tab.
+
+![Ribbon_InsertGroup](../images/img18512.png)
+
+This creates an empty dashboard item, and displays the required data sections for binding this item to data (for instance, the image below displays the [Pivot](dashboard-item-settings/pivot.md) dashboard item and corresponding data sections).
+
+![EUDocs_CreatingDashboardItems_NewPivot](../images/img21201.png)
+
+Perform the following steps to design a dashboard item.
+* [Bind](bind-dashboard-items-to-data/bind-dashboard-items-to-data.md) the dashboard item to data.
+* Perform the required [data shaping](data-shaping.md) operations (such as grouping, sorting and filtering).
+* Use the [interactivity](interactivity.md) features to enable interaction between various dashboard items.
+* Adjust the dashboard item's [position and size](dashboard-layout/dashboard-items-layout.md) and specify the [dashboard item caption](dashboard-layout/dashboard-item-caption.md) settings.
+* Specify specific dashboard item settings based on its type. To learn more, see [Dashboard Item Settings](dashboard-item-settings.md).
+
+After you have created and designed the dashboard item, you can create an exact copy. To do this, click the **Duplicate** button in the **Home** ribbon tab...
+
+![Ribbon_DuplicateDashboardItem](../images/img23150.png)
+
+... or use the dashboard item's context menu. To remove the dashboard item from the dashboard, use the **Delete** button or the corresponding item in the context menu.

+# Coloring
+The Dashboard Designer allows you to paint dashboard item elements such as chart series points or pie segments.
+
+![Coloring_GlobalColors](../../images/coloring_globalcolors25370.png)
+
+## Supported Dashboard Items
+You can paint the following [dashboard items](../dashboard-item-settings.md):
+
+* Chart
+* Scatter Chart
+* Pie
+* Pie Map
+* Range Filter
+* Treemap
+
+## Color Scheme Overview
+The dashboard supports two ways to color dashboard item elements:
+
+* A **Global Color Scheme** uses consistent colors for identical values across the dashboard. The image below shows a dashboard that contains Pie and Chart dashboard items. Pie segments and chart series points that correspond to _Wisconsin_, _Oregon_ and _Idaho_ dimension values use identical colors from the default palette.
+
+	![wdd-coloring-global-scheme](../../images/wdd-coloring-global-scheme126076.png)
+
+	 For a global color scheme, the dashboard reserves automatically generated colors for specific values regardless of the filter state.
+* A **Local Color Scheme** uses an independent set of colors for each dashboard item. The image below shows Pie segments that use colors from a local color scheme. These colors do not affect the Chart items that use a global scheme.
+
+	![common-coloring-local-scheme](../../images/common-coloring-local-scheme.png)
+
+	 For a **Local** color scheme, the dashboard reassigns palette colors when the filter state is changed.
+
+>[!TIP]
+>**Local** colorization paints dashboard item elements more quickly because the control does not request all possible colors and requests only colors used in the current item.
+
+## Color Measures and Dimensions
+You can use predefined color modes to paint individual dimensions or all measures in a dashboard item.
+
+The following color settings are available:
+
+| Color Mode Option | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **Default** | Enables or disables coloring depending on the dashboard item's type. For example, for TreeMap arguments and Chart series, **Default** means **Hue**. For Chart arguments, **Default** means **None**.  |
+| **Hue** | Elements use different colors. |
+| **None** | Elements use the same color. |
+
+## Documentation
+
+Refer to the following help topics for more information on how to configure color variation in the WinForms Designer:
