The Colors option allows you to assign colors to various properties in the system. This option is currently only available to set colors for order entry authorities (M/V).
Colors can be assigned to the following display properties:
•Foreground - The lettering of the text. (Black in the example below)
•Background - The area behind the text (Green in the example below) .
•Border - The edges of the box. (Orange in the example below)
Each of the 3 proprieties can then be associated with a certain field on the order. The choices are:
•(none) - Default color only
Once you select a field you can then assign a color to the values associated with that field (ie, you can assign a different color to each authority that you have defined in the system).

Note: Be careful to NOT select the same color for two or more of the properties. For example, if you set one of the Foreground colors to be red and also set one of the Background colors to be red, you can possibly end up with a display where there is a red box but no lettering (because it is also red).
