Configure Roster Colours

Learn how to configure roster colour rules so shifts display with the correct colours in the roster.

Written by Windolyn Cortes

Open Roster Configuration

Go to Admin > Configuration.

In the Configuration sidebar, click Roster.

Find Roster Colours

Scroll to the Roster Colours section.

This section shows the colour rules currently used by the roster.

Review Existing Colour Rules

Each colour rule may show:

  • Rule name

  • Colour indicator

  • Status, such as Active

  • Matching conditions

  • Rule priority

  • More options menu

Examples of roster colour rules may include:

  • Leave shifts

  • Contracted shifts

  • Non contracted shifts

  • Custom rules

Reorder Colour Rules

Rules are applied from top to bottom.

Drag a rule using the handle on the left to change its priority.

The first rule that matches a shift will control the shift colour.

Add a Colour Rule

Click + Add colour rule.

Configure the rule conditions and colour.

Use custom rules when your organisation needs colours based on specific roster conditions.

Save Changes

Click Save in the Roster Colours section.

The new colour logic will apply to roster displays after saving.

Important Notes

  • Roster colours affect display only.

  • Colour rules do not change shift times, pay rates, contract status, or employment status.

  • Rules are checked from top to bottom.

  • The first matching rule is used.

  • Branch colours may remain separate and continue to show on existing branch badges.

  • Leave type colours and shift role colours can still be used as fallback colours.

  • Keep colour rules simple so roster displays are easy to understand.

Troubleshooting

If a shift is showing the wrong colour:

  • Check the order of the colour rules.

  • Confirm whether another rule appears above the expected rule.

  • Review the matching conditions.

  • Save changes and refresh the roster.

If a new rule is not applying:

  • Confirm the rule is active.

  • Check that the shift matches the rule conditions.

  • Move the rule higher if another rule is matching first.

  • Refresh the page and try again.
