Greetings Jonathan!

Please give this a try:

From the legend box, click on the field that you wish to have the colorbar 
displayed.

This will pop up a small box with colorbar settings, but not quite the ones you 
need.

From this small pop-up box, click "edit" -> "properties" and then a properties 
box will pop-up.

From the properties box, click the tab that says "Color Scale". Make sure 
"Visible" is checked, and use the "Position" drop-down box to set where you 
would like the color bar to live on your display. If you want the color bar 
tick marks to be shown, make sure "Visible" is checked under "Labels".

Cheers!

Sean
