Border colors

The color of an item border tells you something about the status of that item.

By default, an item can have a border in one of the following colors:

blue
A blue border indicates that you can edit the item.
green
A green border means that there are pending changes to this item for you to commit or discard.
red
A red border means that your changes cannot be saved, because the content you entered is invalid or incomplete.
grey
A grey border means that you cannot (currently) edit this item.

These colors are defaults. Your application administrator may have changed them.

The color of borders around the fields of a Component are as follows:

  • If the Component has a blue or green border (or its configured alternative), so do all of its fields.
  • If the Component has a grey border (or its configured alternative), its fields have no borders.
  • If the Component has a red border (or its configured alternative), the field or fields that are invalid also have a red border (or its configured alternative). Other fields have a blue or green border.
