Custom color coding for your entities

Custom color coding for your entities

Our brains are fine tuned to recognize colors before any text or shapes, making color coding a powerful tool to organize data and find items quickly.  Color coding of our day-to-day work help with quickly processing the information, reducing cognitive overload and partially prevent human errors.
 
Benefits of color coding include:
  1. Faster processing: Our brain spots colors instantly
  2. Better memory: Brain maps and recollects the information quickly
  3. Clear safety cues: For example, red indicates danger while green indicates safety
  4. Clutter free: Keeps the complex information organized and simple to consume
Earlier, in Zoho Sprints, you can color code the entities but with a limited set of default colors. As we received quite a few requests to bring in this color spectrum, our team heard you and we wanted to have it included in our app. You can now customize colors from the color spectrum while setting a color for your entities.
 
For instance, if you want to create a custom status to represent a niche status with a color code that your organization already aware of, then you can use this option.
 
Sometimes, you may have statuses, stages, tags or other entities more than the default color options.  To accommodate this requirement and to provide you with more color options, we have now supported a color spectrum where you can derive a color of your liking and use it for your entities. Click More Colors to view the color spectrum. Just click and drag across the spectrum to find a suitable color for your entity.
 
 
 
This color coding is supported in the below mentioned features:
  1. Custom Priority
  2. Custom Status
  3. Release Stage
  4. Manage Tags
  5. Risks and Opportunities Matrix
  6. Risks and Opportunities Status
 
These features can be accessed from within the Zoho Sprints Settings (Zoho Sprints workspace > click Settings at the top right).
 
If you have any niche requirements that you would like us to bring it for you, do write to us via the comments section or drop an email to support@zohosprints.com. We'll be elated to hear from you.
