Ledger line colors

Every other ledger line in the Work pane (and any dialog box showing tables) is highlighted by a color. The default color that displays is determined by the purpose of the project you are looking at. For example, if you are looking at a project with an Insulated Development purpose, every other ledger line will be highlighted in blue.

The colors show what kind of project you are in. This is useful if you work in Rational Synergy as both a developer and a build manager. When you look at a project used for development activities, every other ledger line is blue. When you look at a project used for build management, every other ledger line is either red or green (see table below). This occurs automatically according to the purpose; you do not have to set or change anything. However, if you would like to change the default row colors, see Changing colors in the interface.

The following table shows the default ledger line colors for tables.

Purpose Project State Color
Insulated Development working blue
Collaborative Development working blue
Custom Development working blue
Shared Development shared blue
Visible Development visible blue
Integration Testing prep red
Master Integration Testing prep red
System Testing prep green
static projects static projects gray

Note that the icons on the project tabs reflect the same color scheme as the rows. This is also true of icons that display in the Projects explorer.
