Overview

Color coding is used to distinguish between individual items within specific groups of Birdview entities by assigning each a different color. This serves a dual purpose: it enhances the graphical user interface (GUI) by adding vibrancy to the Activity center, making it visually appealing. Simultaneously, it simplifies the identification of project and activity attributes, as well as tags, by providing a visual distinction.

The color-coded items include statuses and certain types of custom fields (list and multi-select).

Status color coding

Any status defined in a workflow (see Company settings - workflows) can be color-coded. To edit the color coding of a status, the following steps need to be taken:

2. Click through Your profile > Company settings > Workflows.
3. Select the workflow you want to edit.
4. Click the color editor next to the status.
5. Select a new color for the status.
6. The selected color is applied immediately.

Custom field color coding

List and multi-select custom fields can be color-coded. To edit the color coding of a custom field, the following steps need to be taken:

1. Make sure you have the "Manage system settings" permission in your role.
2. Click through Your profile > Company settings > Custom field.
