Overview

Quantive Results allows you to easily track OKRs using coloring. You can configure the colors for better visualization of your OKRs progress.

The color scale for OKRs progress is applied account-wide and takes effect over all OKR sessions. Any objectives and key results, created in your account, will have the same success range coloring.

You can use the following settings for colors and numbers to display the progress of OKRs:

  • Colored percentage number

  • Colored dot with no number

  • Percentage number in black color only

You can change the colors for each range, add and delete ranges.

NOTE: The same colors and ranges are applied when displaying key result progress.
