Colour Coded Jobsheets

A recent GDS update added Colour Coded jobsheets to the system. This feature allows you to set a Status against a particular jobsheet, and each status can have it's own Foreground and Background colour to provide meaning. You could for example have a Blue background to mean Waiting for Parts, or Green to mean Vehicle on Road Test, or Red to mean Waiting for Customer Authorisation.

The settings can be switched on in the GDS System Settings on the Document Lists tab. Once switched on, this will show a new Document Status menu on the GDS/Configuration Settings menu. The Document Status option will display a form that allows you to configure Status Names and Colours. You have options to change the colour of the background and the colour of the text, for each Status you create.

To add a Status to a Jobsheet, you can either do this by selecting a Status on Jobsheet, or by right clicking on the Jobsheet whilst on the list of Jobsheets, then clicking on the option to Change the Status of the selected Jobsheet.
