Tom Martin: I've spent a bit of time thinking about this and looking into it.

We have three colours we currently use:

-- Grey - The workshop job is not completed and is not overdue

-- Green - The workshop work is completed

-- Red - The workshop job is not completed and is overdue

We need have icons for various other things which can be going on

-- Awaiting Parts - A little box icon

-- On Hold - An exclamation icon

-- The bike is checked in - A house icon

-- Paid and picked up in the POS - A green dollar icon

As such if I change the colour based on the second list it would override the first one. I'll see if I can make a suggestion.

-- Awaiting Parts - A little box icon

-- On Hold - An exclamation icon

-- The bike is checked in - A house icon -

-- Paid and picked up in the POS - A green dollar icon -

Neil McQuillan: I see some confusion happening if there isn’t a difference in color coding between a checked in bike And a bike that is paid and picked up. And a paid and picked up bike should drop from the workshop calendar entirely. Lightspeed archives it but can be pulled up via customer card

The current color coding differentiates between open tickets that are needing done and overdue. I generally don’t care to flag that as a different color- the date or an icon take care of that.

I used red for warranty work.

Neil McQuillan: excited to see this happen but just wanted to bring to your attention, the common problem of colour blindness. 3 out of 5 of us here have varying degrees of colour blindness so I would ask/suggest that when selecting the colours to perhaps get a number of opinions from some people in your office. Anything too subtle will likely be difficult to differentiate on a computer screen. Somebody mentioned 12 different shades which I honestly doubt I could pick out on a screen. Colours such as White, Grey, green, yellow, red, blue I would suggest would be a good start. I think brown could be an issue for many. I know you won’t be able to please everybody but I just thought it best to throw this out there before making changes.

Tom Martin: Once a bike is picked up and paid there is a dollar sign on the job on the calendar.

I think we also plan to make the icons coloured so they stand out more, with each icon having its own colour.

Info: We are currently planning to make the following changes.

-- Awaiting Parts - A little box icon Brown

-- On Hold - An exclamation icon Orange

And for the icon colours I've suggested above, we could try and use this palette in nice strong colour choices.

White, green, yellow, red, blue

Neil McQuillan: On Hold would be good ie awaiting callback

Neil McQuillan: Any way you could colour code to add something as a priority for the mechanics to pick up (E.g someone who has a ride event or has to pick up asap due to a hospital shift et..) we sometimes need to prioritise the queue of jobs.
