Identify Company based on Colors

This Post will explain how one can set various colors to Company Name in RTC if your Customer has more than one legal entities(Company).

If your customer has more than one legal identity and wants to identify each legal entity based on its color, you need not bang your head over this. Dynamics NAV has an option that allows us to specify  System Indicator Styles for each company. By defining unique System Indicator Style for each company, You can identify it with unique colors.

However, There is a limitation for this. Microsoft Dynamics NAV allows us to define only 9 System Indicator Styles apart from the standard style. In simple words, you can define upto 9 different colors for companies in NAV RTC.

Now, Am going to explain how it is done: 

Go to the Company Information Page from Departments/Administration/Application Setup/General
Then, Go to the System Indicator fast tab of Company Information page. 
By default,The value of System Indicator Style will be populated as Standard.
However, users can choose from a list of options namely Accent1,Accent2,...,Accent9
The System Indicator Style field will determine the color of company name to be displayed.
For example Accent1 is RED, Accent2 is BLUE  and Accent9 is GRAY.

Hope this helps.
