Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Any recommended hierarchy colour schemes?

Hello all,

Wanted to ask if the planners on this forum follow any specific colour scheme on a programme?

Just curious to know if you use a standard colour scheme on all propgrammes you use or have different pallettes for different programmes.

This would probably be more of a question related to the presentation of a programme.

Regards

Yasine.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I was just curious to see the colours that people normally use aside from the default.

I am not sure what the "doberman's balls" concept is however.

Regards

Yasine

Hi Yasine

I use as standard for levels 1-4 as follows:

Level 4 - Bright Green - Individual Tasks

Level 3 - Bright Yellow - Section Summary

Level 2 - Cyan - Zone Summary

Level 1 - Dark Blue - Project

This allows - Bright Red for delay events following the "doberman's balls" concept

Baselines are black chequered

At all costs avoid multiple displays of colours and patterns as the dazzle effect impacts on the visual presentation.

I hope that helps.

Best regards
