Column Colour Registry entry
Specify the background colour of a field when displaying records.
Description
Specifying a background colour for a field is an effective way to draw attention to it. This can be achieved using the Column Colour Registry setting.
For accessibility reasons, a colour selected by a user in the Options box takes precedence over a colour set in the EMu Registry by an Administrator.
If the Column Colour Registry entry specifies a background colour for a mandatory field, the colour specified in the Options box will take precedence.
By default, no background colour is specified in the Options box for mandatory fields so a Column Colour Registry entry setting will always apply until a user actively specifies a colour in the Options box.
