Introduction

You can set the default colors in this section to color-code objectives. Such coding can help you understand which objectives call for extra attention. You can define your colors and add descriptions to explain what they mean. 

Go to Heatmap mode to learn more about color-coding using the Objectives module.

Keep in mind:

  • A box type contains the default settings applicable to multiple boxes (all boxes of a given type). Those settings are adjusted in the Administration.

  • Box configuration refers to the settings of a single, individual box. They are dependent on the box type settings. 

Changing the configuration might turn off (hide) settings or features in the box configuration (of an individual box) and within different modules.

Also, as modules can be renamed or deactivated, the name in the side menu might change or not be shown.

Security and access

Only a user with the App admin security role can access and manage the box type configuration.

To access this page:

  1. Go to Administration > Box types > click on a box type name > Objectives > Colors.

The Objective health status can be presented following the traffic light convention:

  • Green 

  • Yellow 

  • Red

Each health status can have a description defining its meaning, e.g., green – on track, yellow – at risk, red – off track. The defined colors appear in the objective edit dialog of the Objectives module.
