Item types and their colour bars

LiveFor: All staff

Work assignment, Email, Note, Task, Client Task and Alert, and how to tell them apart.

Each item in the list has a coloured bar on its left edge and its type written on it, so you can tell at a glance what kind of item it is.

Type Bar Avatar
Work assignment Light grey A briefcase in Split view
Email Dark grey The sender
Note Orange The sender
Task Green The sender
Client Task Pink The client
Alert Amber A bell
Triage in Split view with a list of alerts, each with a bell avatar, and the Triage folders in the sidebar ringed.
Alerts carry a bell; an email carries its sender's initial.
  • Unread items have a bold subject and a blue dot.
  • An email with a security warning shows a warning triangle instead of the sender’s avatar; read it with care before opening links or attachments.

Still need help?

Ask your firm's BMS admin first: they can see your access level and your firm's settings. Clients of a firm should contact their accountant.
