Basics of the VPS

The two view color modes

The VPS offers two different color modes to stress certain aspects of your plan

The two color modes allow you to use predefined colors for the bars depending on what you want to highlight. 

On the “Color Mode Setup” page, accessible from the Role Center via “Color Mode Setup”, users can freely define colors for both “Production Order Status” and “Execution Status”.

Production Order Status View Color Mode


The Production Order Status View is the default color mode of the VPS and helps you to quickly see where in your scheduling & execution process your production orders are. It differentiates production orders by their respective states and indicates this by different colors for the following statuses. The picture below shows the default colors:
