IP16: Changing Colors for Employee Hours and Activities on the Dispatch Board Gantt Chart (Open UI Client)

In our current 8.0 version, in HI mode we have configured Gantt Chart to display Employee Working hours in different colors by setting the following user properties.
Z-Background Color LOV Map = #Normal#Overtime#Extended Overtime#Consultation#Sales#Support#CD#Overflow
Z-Background Color Map = #White#Gray Medium 2#Gray Dark 2#Blue#Green#Purple#Orange#Black
Z-Background Color LOV Name = SHIFT_HOUR_TYPE

We added the same user properties in IP16 (FS Dispatch Board Gantt Applet) for Open UI mode but this does not seem to work.

Solution:

Changing Colors for Periods on the Dispatch Board Gantt Chart
On the Gantt chart, each of the following periods for an employee appears in a different color:

Working periods
Nonworking periods
Overtime periods
Extended overtime periods
You can change these colors.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Dispatch Board.

To change the colors for the periods on the Dispatch Board Gantt chart

Navigate to the theme-gray.css file in the following directory:
<build root>\swsm\applicationcontainer\webapps\siebel\files

Open this file in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) editor.
Search for the appropriate class as follows:
To change the colors for working periods, search for the siebui-taskBoxNormal class.
To change the colors for nonworking periods, search for the siebui-taskBoxUnavail class.
To change the colors for overtime periods and extended overtime periods, search for the siebui-taskBoxOT class.
Change the value of the background-color property to the hexadecimal value of the new color.

Configuring Colors for Activities on the Dispatch Board Gantt Chart

For activities on the Gantt chart, users can configure the major color scheme, the minor color scheme, and the color of grid objects. In the Dispatch Board view of the User Preferences screen, they can configure color schemes for only the Priority, Status, and Type field values in activity records. For more information, see Setting User Preferences for the Dispatch Board (End User).

You can use Siebel Tools to configure colors for other field values in activity records. Your color configurations override the color configurations that users set up in the User Preferences screen. For more information about performing configuration tasks with Siebel Tools, see Using Siebel Tools.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Dispatch Board.
