Assigning Company Colors

If you use Sage 300 to manage multiple companies, you can assign a unique color to each company. This color appears in a border around Sage 300 screens, making it easier to see which company's information you are viewing and avoid data entry errors. More...

You can assign colors to all companies, or to as few or as many companies as you like.

You use the following screens to manage company colors:

  • 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.

    Sage 300 assigns colors to all companies for which a database has been set up. In the Color column, a color swatch A color indicates the color assigned to each company.

    Note: Sage 300 does not assign colors to system databases. In the Color column, a No Color An image of the no color swatch swatch indicates that no color is assigned.

If you want to clear all company colors, click Clear All Colors on the Database Setup screen.
