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.
