Concrete examples of uses to optimize your planning!

Previously, you had to choose the color of the task based on a single criterion (task, client, or project schedules) which limited the use of color. Now the color of each item (resource, client, project, category, task, schedules) can be highlighted on the schedule and allows many more possibilities.

You can choose the color of the rectangle based on the task label, while even defining colors for the client according to various criteria such as:
- The nature of the customer: company or individual.
- A geographical area: so you can optimize your planning sending your mobile resources on accurate geographical areas.
- The type of contract: Prioritization of service is planned according to the level of contract purchased by the customers .
- For Franchise: to visually identify on the planning board, the group it belongs to and, if necessary, the paying establishment in charge.

You can also choose to coordinate the colors of the resources to ensure, for example, that a team leader (here in blue) is participating in the scheduling:

It is also interesting to display the color of the category to highlight information such as:


- The status: planned, ongoing, finished.
- The priority: Normal or Urgent.
- If the service is included, or not, thus resulting in a charge.
- If payment is to be received at the end of the service or not.

The status: planned, ongoing, finished.

Finally, the project based color will allow you to:
- Check immediately if the project is short, medium or long term duration.
- Estimate the cost of the project.
