Sage 300: Changing Company Screen Colors

1/7/2014

2 Comments

 
Sage 300 Web Screen Company Colors
One of the newer features in Sage 300 is the ability to color code company databases. In a previous blog post, we discussed the Benefits of Color Coding Companies in Sage 300 which includes making it easier to differentiate screens when you have multiple companies open at the same time.

In this blog post, we will show you HOW to color code companies in Sage 300 step-by-step.
Let’s take a closer look …
AUGUST 2020 UPDATE
One of the new features introduced in the Sage 300 2020.2 release was the ability to assign a unique color to your Web Screens for each company in your Sage 300 database. Previously, assigning multiple company colors was available only in the Sage 300 classic screens as discussed in this article originally posted in 2014. Now, customers working with the newer Sage 300 web screens can also benefit from this popular feature. The process for setting up color coding is the same in both Classic and Web Screens.

How it Works

You can assign colors to all companies, or to as few or as many companies as you like using the following screens:
 
Database Setup - assign or clear colors for all companies.
 
Edit Database Profile screen - Change the color assigned to a specific company, or turn off the company color option for that company.

1. Access Sage 300 Database Setup

To get started with color coded companies in Sage 300, you must first click on your Window’s Start Menu. Head over to All Programs.

Next, select Sage 300 and click on Database Setup.

On the Database Setup screen, select the Assign Colors Automatically option.

Sage 300 then assigns colors to all companies for which a database has been set up.

 2. To Edit Company Colors or Select a Different Color

You will now see that there is a Color column next to the Database ID column. You will also notice that you have the option to Assign Colors Automatically, as well as Clear All Colors.

Click on the company that you wish to color-code and select Edit.

On the Edit Database Profile screen, click the Select Color button.

Choose a desired color, and then click OK.

Click OK to close the Edit Database Profile screen

In the Color column, a color swatch indicates the new color assigned to the company.

*Note: If you want the natural Windows look then don't select any color. 

3. View Company Database

Once you’ve assigned colors to the databases you wish to color-code, open up one of your color-coded databases in Sage 300.

You will notice right away that the Windows title bar and border have been changed to your choice of color. Even the preview windows that appear when you hover over the task bar icons have been color-coded.

4. To Turn Off a Company Color

  1. On the Database Setup screen, select a company, and then click Edit.
  2. On the Edit Database Profile screen, select the No Color option.
  3. Click OK to close the Edit Database Profile screen.


See It In Action!

And that’s all there is to it!
Now you know how to change a company’s color in Sage 300.

Joan - if you're referring to the old "Accpac 500" version 5.5, I don't believe the company color capability is available in that version. That feature was added later and available starting with Version 2012, Product Update 1.

But check with your Sage authorized partner / support provider to be sure.
