Navigation and Color Coding

Hello Guys,
I have got couple of design questions.
1. I have a report with a view selector on it(Annual, quarter, month) that navigates to another report with the same view selector(annual quarter month) The problem I have is with the navigation landing pages.
When i changed my report to quarter view from the annual view and then navigate to the report B I still land in ANNUAL view as that is the first view of the report. Users expect to land on quarter view directly based on what they select on the report A.
So i was wondering if there is a way to control the view selector and column selector landing pages when navigation from report A to report B.
2. This is regarding Color coding. I have three columns in my report Year, quarter, month with conditional color coding done on it(when year=09 then red, when month =jan then blue some thing like that). So now the report has both table and pivot view. The users want to see the color coding only on pivot but not on table. Is there a way to achieve that? I tried duplicating the columns and hiding in the table but hiding in the table will hide across all the views. So i am kind of stuck there as well.
Can we control this?
Any advice is appreciated
thanks
Prash

Regarding 2) don't know how feasible this is since I can't see your report, but you can try this:
1) For the columns that you want color-coded, put two instances in your Criteria mode. Now color code one each of those "dual columns" for your pivot table.
2) For the "Table View" build another pivot table, but design it like a table, but this time using the "uncolor-coded" columns in that pivot table and keeping the other columns in the Excluded box.

  • Vista and color coding

    I just had to buy a new laptop which is running Vista.  I am trying to install Palm software on to it but it isn't taking.  It keeps coming up FOUND NEW HARDWARE, then locate and install driver software -- but it won't do it.  Any idea why?  And I read that there is no color coding!  That's one of the best features~  has that changed?

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    What version of Palm Desktop are you trying to install?  If you are referring to the new Palm Desktop 6.2 by Access, that is correct, there is no color coding on the desktop version.  It is frequently addressed here on the Forums.

  • Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

    I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
    I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

    The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
    Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
    The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

  • Calendar and Color coding events

    In looking at all the stuff online, it shows that the calendar can display your events on the list in a color code? How do you get this to work? And does this match the color codes in Exchange?
    Thanks,

    The color codes are simply a different color for each new calendar you add. I have a mobile me account and it added a few new calendars and each calendar has it's own color so when you view them all it will show you the specific calendar color in which the event is from.

  • Labeling/color-coding within iTunes

    I would like to color-code or label at the song or the playlist folder level for visual organization (like desktop folder labeling). I have done quite a bit of searching on MacUpdate and Versiontracker and cannot find any type of application that runs within iTunes that will allow this type of functionality.
    Apple is behind the curve on allowing customization to the iTunes library in a lot of ways, but this is minor stuff you can do to your desktop and your mail files--why not songs?
    Is there any third party apps that do this that I might have missed? I sort 99% of the music on my iPod by custom playlist, and color-coding/labeling would help me immensely. I'm a visual person but coverflow does nothing for me in this case.
    Thanks.

    I'll second that notion - color labeling is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm going to go post feedback requesting this also. Ability to label playlists or playlist groups or folders would really be nice, especially when you have 100+ playlists. I'm an organization freak anyway, but it is true that the eye responds much faster to color than to large amounts of text.
    There are so many other ways it could be useful. Example: you've imported a bunch of stuff and want to temporarily label chunks of it in the "Music" playlist until you can get it sorted. Or you could label something to make it stand out as a reminder to listen to, or an indicator that you've already listened to it.

  • Wish: annotate workflow with separator, comment or color-coding

    I've been developing a Finder workflow that has grown to 23 steps, and more are coming.
    The workflow is broken up into segments to 2-4 actions each. I've customized the action names and collapsed each segment in order to better see the overall sequence.
    The problem is the segments visually run together. If this were a programming language, I'd visually set off the first action of each segment with a blank line or a comment. I'd like to do the same with my workflows.
    The thoughts that come to mind are a visual separator, a workflow comment, colored action names, and color-coding (a la Finder labels). I like coloring best because it doesn't take vertical space (a critical Automator resource).
    [I submitted this as formal Feedback - Design/Ease of Use.]

    Thanks, lc55, for contributing to this thread.
    You could structure the workflow like a regular
    program with a main workflow calling subsidiary
    workflows ....
    That might add clarity to my long scripts, but at the expense of numerous small files, which seems like trading one problem for another.
    Here again, conventional programming provide an excellent model to follow, with a main routine and a collection of subroutines in a SINGLE file.

  • Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

  • When I connect my iPod3 to my Imac, the memory shows 13GB or so assigned to "other" (color coded yellow). What is this "other, and can I clear it?

    When I connect my iPod3 to my Imac, the memory shows 13GB or so assigned to "other" (color coded yellow). What is this "other", and can I clear it?

    The "Other" section on your iPod consists of several different things including album artwork, files you may or could be storing on it externally when using the iPod as a storage disk, the iPod's software/OS, as well as corrupt files that are leftover from failed sync operations with iTunes or are no longer recognized by the iPod's software or iTunes. The size of other is usually quite minute, around less than a GB, sometimes a little more (depending on the amount of media stored on your iPod).
    In order to clear this space out, you'll need to restore your iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar color coding (categories) of appointments and meeting

    I synce my new iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook 2007 from work. I have all my appointment meetings color coded (categorized) in Outlook. The color coding is not showing up on my iPhone calendar. Why?

    Hi,
    I did a test on my side: The account in Outlook was an Outlook.com account, I created an appointment in its calendar, gave it a category. Then I logged on the calendar on
    https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx, the appointment was there and I could see the category, but there's no color on it.
    Based on what I see, it's probably by design that Outlook.com Calendars don't display category colors, although it already has a category. To confirm this, you can post the question in Outlook.com forum:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
    Since iPad is not a Microsoft product, I'm not sure and can't guarantee if it supports the calendar categories that Outlook supports.

  • My wife tracks our kids on her I pad calendar by color coding each child. When she syncs with my  calendar they lose their color. Can we sync and see each others calendar and keep the different colors

    Can you sync calendars and keep the color coded entries of the original calendar

    When you say she syncs with your calendar, do you mean she shares your calendars through iCloud, she subscribes to your calendar, or something else?
    You can color-code your view of a shared or subscribed calendar the same way you color-code one of your own calendars. In the Calendar app, tap the Calendars button at upper left, tap the ">"-in-a-blue-circle next to the calendar, and select a new color.

  • Firefox tab and navigation tab colors

    I'm using firefox 4 is there a way to remove the ugly opaque tabs and I want to change the navigation tab colors to red. Can I do that? If so, how?

    Hi Sean,
    Try this:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    It's a bit more "technical" than most people want, but it should work.

  • Changing link navigation bar font and color

    Is it possible to change the font and color on the links for each page on iWeb?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, with the code and a HTML snippet that's described in this tutorial: #24 - How to Change the Basic, Rollover and Visited Color of an iWeb Navbar.
    However, if you want to create a site that is more search engine friendly I suggest you create a text based navbar as described in this demo page: Text Based Navbar. If you don't have a lot of pages in your site it's not too difficult.

  • I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

    The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.)  Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all.  How can I stop this?

    Hi. Thanks for your message.
    Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
    On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
    As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
    I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
    I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
    Take a look at this link:

    Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

  • Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

    If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
    In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
    The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
    I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text.  In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
    The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance."  The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
    The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization.  However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
    I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here.  It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts:  I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
    If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

    Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
    For Lion or Mountain Lion
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
       Partition and Format the hard drive
          1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
          3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
              Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
              (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
              Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
              Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
              the installer.
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    For Snow Leopard or Earlier
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • Calendar App: color coded events...

    Hello,
    Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
    However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
    So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
    I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
    Please can any one in the community advise:
    1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
    2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
    Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
    Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
    Regards,
    Richard

    It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
    You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.
