Introduction
Easy8 allows you to apply color schemes to tasks based on priority, status, or tracker. These visual distinctions help you manage tasks more efficiently by making key attributes visible at a glance. This guide walks you through how to set each scheme and customize colors for your workflow needs.
Target audience
- Administrator
Prerequisites
- Access to Administration → Settings → Task Tracking
- Permission to manage task statuses, priorities, or trackers
Steps
1. Select a Color Scheme
- Go to Administration → Settings → Task Tracking
- Find the Color Scheme section
- Choose one of the three options:
- By Task Priority
- By Task Status
- By Tracker
- Save your settings
Note: Only one color scheme can be active at a time.
2. Set Color Scheme by Task Priority
- Go to Administration → Categories → Task Priorities
- Click Edit on a priority level
- Scroll to the color selection area and choose a color
- Click Save
Tasks will now be color-coded according to their priority level (e.g., urgent tasks in red, low-priority tasks in green).
3. Set Color Scheme by Task Status
- Go to Administration → Task Statuses
- Click Edit on each status
- Select the desired color from the color picker
- Click Save
Each task’s color will now reflect its current status (e.g., “In Progress” in blue, “Closed” in gray).
4. Set Color Scheme by Tracker
- Go to Administration → Trackers
- Click Edit on each tracker
- Choose a color in the color settings section
- Click Save
This will apply a unique color to tasks based on their tracker type (e.g., "Bug" in red, "Feature" in green).
Results
- Your task list will reflect the selected color scheme
- Visual task differentiation makes workflows more intuitive
- Only the active scheme is displayed; others remain hidden until reselected
Troubleshooting
- Can't see task colors? Ensure a scheme is selected and saved
- Wrong colors showing? Double-check settings in the relevant section (Priority, Status, or Tracker)
- Need to change scheme? Switch back anytime in Task Tracking settings
