RTC v6.0.4: Custom Background Colors for Defects vs. CRs

Hello,

Is there a setting to assign designated background colors for our defects vs. change requests?  I ask because our forms for each are identical.  I am building the forms for our team to eventually migrate from CC/CQ to RTC.  I think this will help them in not mistaking a defect from a change request (e.g., lilac vs. ash).

Thanks,
MK

If you are talking about CC/CQ before migrating, I'm sorry, I don't have any ideas. Once you arrive in RTC, I think you can use the themes functionality in RTC to change the colors of different work item types. And of course you can assign a different icon.

Thank you for your reply, but I'm not locating where one can apply a themes to differentiate defects from themes.  I appreciate the feedback :)

There is no easy way to do this if you use the "same form", because it then has to be dynamic - the presentation changes depending on the data loaded. On a similar note, in the past, some users asked whether they can hide a tab depending on the value of a particular attribute, which is not possible.

Some ways that you can consider.
1. The web UI already shows the work item type (Defect, or Change Request) when a work item is displayed, and you can make it standout by changing its color or size by using Web UI Theming as Ian suggested.
2. Simply make the forms/editors different. You can add static text in an editor to explain what it is for.
