Set the event color on the program timeline

When viewing events on the timeline, you can choose to set the event color based on the state of the event. This allows you to see the progress of your events quickly, without having to hover over the event to see its state.

The default colors for the event states are:

• Not Started event icons are blue.
• In Progress event icons are yellow.
• Complete event icons are green.
• Closed event icons are gray.

Note: Your administrator can modify the PP_Event_color_coding_configuration preference to change the default colors for the program events.

Procedure

1. View the timeline for a program that contains events.
2. From the program timeline, click Set Event Color.
3. Click By State to set the event colors based on the state of the event.
4. To set the events back to their default color, click Set Event Color again and then click Default Event Color.
