The default column colors in the system are red, orange, and green.
When you create a new process management group, these colors are used to highlight the various process steps within the group.
The colors red and orange will highlight a status so that the item is in progress/work.
The green color will highlight a finished/done status.
The colors also impact how tasks are displayed in your Action Center on both desktop and mobile. Tasks with a red or orange status will appear in your Action Center.
How to Create New Status Colors
The system administrator can add new colors and define descriptions to match the processes in the organization.
Steps to Set New Colors:
Go to the Library and select the Glossary option.
On the screen that opens, click "Create a new status color."
Choose the desired color, then define a name for the status and a description to explain the meaning of the color to the group admins.
Once the new color is created, it will appear in the column color setting option within the group.
Please note that, like the red and orange colors, items with custom status colors will also appear in your Agenda, To Do list in your Action Center, and in your Ongoing Tasks view.
