Change Color Names & Custom Color's

Ben Dummar

1. I am trying to create more color choices in the Bar format area.
2. I would like to change the names of the color's to represent our phases
in work.
A. We are a subcontractor that has certain phases in our work process we
do over and over. We would like to have the phase be represented by the same
color every time. Can we change the names of the color's so they show our
phase name instead of the color name?

H,

Do youwant to change the names of the colors (which can't be done) or of the
bars defined (such as they appear in the Legend when prnting) -- which is
easy enough?

Thanks for your response Jan.

I am trying to change the actual color name to the the name of the phase so
when builing the project it is easy to remember what color assignment belongs
to what color.

Hi,

As I said this can't be done but you can create the Colored Bars in Bar
Styles and as name for the style give the name of the phase (did that for a
customer to years ago)
