Employees and positions are not set to colors, shifts are - a
color can be set for each shift and
it will retain that color when
Imported into a new week, regardless of who is assign to the shift.
You can manually change the color of each shift based on the Employee
working by clicking the shift and changing it (or using the Multi-Shift Edit
view) but if you later change the assignment the color would also have to be
changed.
You can set category default colors
which allows you to choose the category when adding a shift and the
color is prepopulated for you.
You can color the shifts and they retain that
color from week to week so that when you use AutoFill the color is the same,
so it is not related to who is assigned.
Since Employees can sign in and get their schedules and you can view the
schedule using many schedule views that break down by Employee (ex. By
Employee, Graphical, Availability etc.) our system does not currently allow
for controlling shift colors by the employee working. Normally colors
would be used for indicating the Employee was late or to indicate the
location or position of the shift etc..
