Configuring global event colors

The Lexicon configures colors that apply globally across all schedules, this is not a station specific change.

Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench connected to a Supervisor station.

Click Tools on the menu bar and select Lexicon Tool.
The Lexicon Report view opens.
Using the drop-down list in the upper right corner of the window, click Lexicon Editor.
The Lexicon Editor view opens.
From each drop-dowm list, select these properties:
1. For Lexicon select the language (en for English).
2. For Module select schedule.
3. For Search On select key.
To add a new lexicon key, enable Add New key at the bottom of the Lexicon Editor window.
For key, type a schedule description, such as TypeSchedule.colors.null.
Below are the examples for key for the different schedules:
- For an enum schedule the key is EnumSchedule.colors.n , where n is null or an ordinal integer, for example: 0, 1, 2 and so on. Each integer value represents a color for a scheduled event.
- For a Boolean schedule the key value is BooleanSchedule.colors.n, where n is 0 (true) or 1 (false) or null. True defaults to green, false defaults to red and null defaults to gray.
- For a numeric schedule the value for key is NumericSchedule.colors.n , where n is 0 (true) or null. Zero defaults to green, which is for any configured event and null defaults to gray.
- For a string schedule the value for key is StringSchedule.colors.n , where n is 0 (true) or null. Zero defaults to green, which is for any configured event and null defaults to gray.
For Value click the Color Chooser button.
The Color Chooser opens.
Select the color and click OK.
The Lexicon assigns the color code to the Value and returns to the editor.
Click Update Value.
This updates the Lexicon key for a single color.
After configuring all colors, restart the station and Workbench.
The changes become effective.
