Tips & Notes
Understanding Assessment Colours
- Dull criteria colour = the criterion has not been accepted.
- Solid criteria colour = the criterion has been accepted.
If criteria appear dull unintentionally:
- The assessment must be unlocked for the Assessor.
- The criterion needs to be accepted.
- The assessment must then be re‑signed.
Changing Assessment Colours
You can choose colours using several format options:
- Web Colours: Select a colour from the palette displayed when Web is chosen.

- RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Use sliders or enter a HEX/HTML colour code, then click Apply.

- Hue, Saturation and Brightness (HSB): Click anywhere in the palette or adjust values manually, then click Apply.

- Hue, Saturation and Value (HSV): Works the same as HSB and allows fine‑tuning before clicking Apply.

Sampling Assessments
Assessment colours also indicate sampling activity by different user roles:
- IQA‑sampled criteria display in the IQA’s assigned colour.

- EQA‑sampled criteria display in the EQA’s assigned colour.

Completed Assessments
Completed assessments display colour coding for each stage, allowing users to quickly identify workflow status and who currently has ownership of the assessment.
