Assign Color Categories

Color categories in the UCMDB Browser help you with the navigation and searching of CIs. You may assign any of the available colors to any CI:

Gray (if no category is specified)
Dark Steel
Green
Orange
Purple
Red
Slate
Turquoise
Yellow

You can view and change the color categories by:

Clicking the colored icon in the upper right corner of each CI on the search results page (both in grid view and thumbnails view) and on the Most Visited page.
Selecting Choose Category from the context menu for a selected CI.

To assign a color category, click the color icon in any of these locations, and select the color category that you want to apply to the CI. Changes are reflected in all places where categories are indicated.

After assigning colors, you can use the color categories to refine your search (for example, "all red Windows servers" or "all blue business applications located in Seattle".

Note When upgrading from an older version to UCMDB Browser 4.10 or later versions, the colors assigned in the previous version will be updated to the new colors and names available in the UCMDB Browser 4.10 or later versions. If the default names for the colors have been changed in the previous version, only the colors will be updated, and the names will remain as they were defined before.
