Configuring the color assignments

The color assignments section of the configuration file specifies the colors used for highlighting the identifiers when previewing an unstructured document.

A color assignment has the following format:

<add key ="NewItem" value ="0,255,0"/>

You use the RGB color model to specify the color value. The flat file import feature supports only Microsoft Office standard font colors.

Tip: To determine the color value of a standard Office font color, choose to format a font color, choose the color on the Standard tab of the Colors dialog box, and then click the Custom tab to see the RGB value.

The following describes the parameters you can configure.

Key setting name Description
NewItem Highlights the object in the preview document if it doesn't exist in Teamcenter. Default color value: 0,255,0 (green)
ExistingItem Highlights the object in the preview document if it exists in Teamcenter in the same requirement specification when you reimport the unstructured document to Teamcenter to revise or update requirement information. Default color value: 255,153,204 (pink)
DuplicateItem Highlights the object in the preview document if there is a duplicate in Teamcenter that was created in a different requirement specification when you import the unstructured document. Default color value: 255,0,0 (red)
InternalLinks Highlights the object in the preview document if it contains an internal trace link. Internal trace links are links to objects within the same structure. Default color value: 255,255,0 (yellow)
ExternalLinks Highlights the object in the preview document if it contains an external trace link. External trace links are links to objects outside the structure. Default color value: 255,102,0 (orange)
