IDEA-I-113

The Sage People Y25.2 release now allows you to use different colors in the WX Absence calendar. Admins can assign a calendar color category to an Absence Accrual Rule. You can use the same category color for multiple rules.

Five new colors are available to give you more options, while maintaining the accessibility of the calendar. The system defaults the category labels to the color name but you can customize these. The category labels are displayed in the WX category legend.

Note The system doesn't allow the addition of new colors in the picklist option, just the standard five. Users aren't able to change the orange (public holidays), green (vacation) or blue (absence) assignments.

Admins can change the Labels to suit the business Absence need. By default, this field is empty on new and existing Rules. Absences will still appear as standard blue (absence record types) or green (vacation record types):
