Set-up, Colours

Use this option to set-up the colour to use for each screen’s title (top centre), the standard scrolling views, the special claims scrolling view, and fields when they are highlighted to indicate either alarm or the current search.

The settings for this option apply to the current user only. For example, Fred may choose to have red screen titles while Harry (who is colour blind) chooses to have dark blue ones. To establish a common standard for your entire office you must either set-up each user similarly, or set-up one user according to your standard, then copy that user’s set-up to all the other user names (see Set-up, Users). To set-up your colour preferences…

• Select the item to change from the drop-down (e.g. “Screen title”)
• The current colour will be displayed (e.g. bright red)
• Click the “Change” button to change the colour
• Click the colour you would prefer to use (e.g. bright green)
• Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the “Colour” dialogue
• Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the “Set-up Colours” dialogue

If you deal with general insurance you are advised to use different colours for claims and the standard scrolling view, as otherwise you may mistake policies records for claims ones.
