Color keys
Color keys are used to show different types of job in different colours. Each colour has a name or meaning. The list of color keys is shown at the top of table views.
Choosing a Color key
The task finder shows a list of all your color keys. They initially appear in the order you entered them, but you can drag and drop them to change the order. Changing the order here will also change the order they appear everywhere else in ResourcePlanner.
To edit an color key, just click on it. To add a new color key, click on "Add a new color key" at the top of the list.
Editing a Color key
- Name
- This is the name or meaning of the color key, and it must be unique.
- Text and Background colors
- To change a color, click on it, and choose the new color from the pop-up window.
- Update
- Pressing this button will write any changed details back to the database, and return you to the previous screen.
- Cancel
- Pressing this button will discard any changes, and return you to the previous screen.
- Apply
- Pressing this button will write any changed details back to the database, but leave you in the same screen.
- Delete
- Pressing this button will delete the details permanently. You will always be asked to confirm a delete. Once you answer OK to the confirmation dialog, the information will be gone for ever (but see Backup and Restore). You cannot delete a color key if there are jobs, tasks or resources using that color in ResoucePlanner.
