Color Schemes (SLA 3.0)

Overview

To improve visibility, HelpDesk lets you color-code SLA fields based on remaining time or specific issue conditions. For example:

  • Incidents: Yellow when 50% of SLA remains; orange when only 15% remains.

  • Feature requests: Green until SLA is breached.

This page explains how to create and manage your color schemes.

Default Color Scheme

To get you started, HelpDesk comes with a default Standard color scheme with the red color for breached SLAs and green – for others. You can change the default scheme if required.

Creating a Color Scheme

  1. Click Add Scheme – a modal dialog will appear.

  2. In the modal dialog you can set up the scheme. It consists of color rules with two rules added by default for a new entry – for breached and not breached SLA. Here you can change the color of a rule or add more rules in between.

  3. Once you’ve finished adding entries, click Save—and you’re all set.

If you modify a color scheme that’s in use it will be applied to all associated issues. The color schemes in use cannot be deleted.
