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:

ColorMeaning
blueYou can edit the item.
greenThere are pending changes to this item for you to commit or discard.
redYour changes cannot be saved, because the content you entered is invalid or incomplete.
greyYou 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.
