Assigning colorways to a material

Before assigning colorways to a material, you must first define colors, color palettes, and materials.

See these links for reference:
  1. From the main menu, open the Color Overview panel and dock it to any side of the main window.
  2. From the Color Overview panel, drag and drop a colorway to the Colorway tab of a material record.
  3. To set a colorway as the main color, select a colorway and click the cell before the Color column.
    A main color is used as the default color in lab dip requests.
    Note: When you include a colorway in a labdip request for material, you can view the labdip request information for that colorway by opening the Colorways tab of the material details page. Click the arrow beside the color to view request details.

    A green mark appears on the cell, identifying the colorway as the main color.

  4. To set the price of a colorway in a material record, click the Purchase Price field and set the price value.

    Click the Purchase Price Currency drop-down list and select the price currency.

    Note: The purchase price value may contain a maximum of ten whole numbers and up to three decimal number values.
  5. Fill in the colorway details as needed and click the Save button.
  6. To see colorways assigned to a material, select a material record and click the Material/Colorways icon on the sidebar.
    Note: You can also assign color palettes to a material. Open the Color Palette panel from the Basics menu and perform the same steps. Optionally, you can add or link the colorway to the color library. Right-click a colorway and select Add to Library to add on-the-fly colors to the color library. To update the color information in material to sync with the color library information, right-click a colorway and select Link to Library.

    To remove a colorway assigned to a material, go to the Colorway tab of the material record. Right-click a colorway and select Delete.
