Choosing your Shift colors
You can choose Shift colors to show by State, Site or Service. Let's break down how you can choose them for each.

Scheduled Shift
Scheduled Overtime Shift
Worked Shift

Locked Shift
Locked Overtime Shift
Open Shift
Tentative Shift
Site colors
Site colors can be assigned inside any of your sites in Manage sites. You can select from the color palette, located in a dropdown under Site color in the General info section.
You'll notice that the site colors will display to the left of the site names in Manage sites.
Service colors
Service colors can be assigned inside any of your services in Manage services. You can select from the color palette, located in a dropdown under Service color in the General info section.
You'll notice all service colors will display to the left of the service names in Manage services.
Choosing which colors to display in your Schedule
You can use the Selected layout Display options in your Schedule to choose whether to display in State colors, Site colors or Service colors.
You'll notice that you can switch between State colors, Site colors or Service colors by marking the one you want to use in the Show shift colors by section. Be sure to Save to layout if you want to make a permanent save.
Note: You can only Save to layout if you're selecting for a custom-made filter. A Celayix-made filter (*) will only allow for a temporary change and will revert back to State colors.
Your Schedule will display by your chosen colors.
