Color manager node do not recognize strings as nominal values

Hello,

I am working on Knime for several weeks now and everything went well till now. I tryed to find a solution on internet before writing this, but I could not find anything, I hope that I am not duplicating post.

I am trying to assign colors to each unique strings in a column. For example, if i give as input :

column1[String]
color2
color1
color2

I want to be able to have :

column1[String] colors
color2 blue
color1 red
color2 blue

So I connected this node to my workflow but it is like the manager color node is not able to find any column to apply its task, as when I want to configure the node, an error window tell me that :

"The dialog cannot be opened for the following reason:
Please provide input table with at least one column with either nominal and/or lower and upper bounds defined."

In have strings columns in my table, may be it is because there is too many unique of them, but I am not sure about that.

Could you please help me to figure what is happening with this node ?

Thank you

Hi,

try connecting the domain calculator node prior to the colour manager node. This will help define the  nominal values for the column.
