Color Choice Attributes
The color choice attribute allows users to select a color from a list that has been predefined by an administrator. It is often used to denote status (for example, approved, rejected, on time, delayed, and so on). This is a way for users to see an item�s status at a glance.
• If the status is green, it could represent a status of on time or approved.
• If a status is red, it could represent a status of delayed or rejected.
Occasionally, this attribute is also used to represent the color of an object, such as a thread color.
Entries without a hexadecimal code display no color when viewing the attribute, and are indistinguishable from the block of color displayed for the white hexadecimal code.
The Color (Hex) value must be a six-digit value representing a standard hexadecimal color number, such as 00FF00 for green, FF0000 for red, or FFFF00 for yellow. You are not required to include the pound sign (#) when entering the hexadecimal color code. Entries with or without the pound sign display the same color when viewing the attribute.
