Logistics Activity Colour Coding

The colour coding of construction activities has been introduced in Construction Logistics.

Colour coding allows a builder to attach specific meaning to construction activities, and for this to be visible to all users across all Framework Logistics applications.
eg. You may wish to nominate and visually separate activities that are to be updated by supervisors in the field or by office-based staff.

The number of colours available is extensive, and they can be used for any desired purpose. Your team must be trained in your colour coding/meaning to ensure the chosen colours are understood and interpreted correctly.

Refer to this article for information on implementing colour coding
