How to create custom work order statuses and colours
Colour-code your planboard by status, work type and work status combination.
Why customise status colours?
Colour-coding your planboard makes it easy for planners to see work order progress at a glance. OutSmart lets you assign a unique colour to each combination of status, work type and work status.
Configuring colours
- Navigate to Settings > Planboard > Colours.
- Select the combination of status, work type and work status you want to style.
- Use the colour picker to choose a hex colour.
- Click Save.
Default colour reference
- Scheduled (Ingepland):

Tips
- Stick with the default colours unless your workflow genuinely benefits from changes — planners who are used to the defaults may find a sudden change confusing.
- Use distinct, high-contrast colours so statuses are easy to tell apart even on smaller screens.
- You can always revert to the defaults from the same settings page.
