- Color by - For portals with Succession, Identify employees by a succession metric. The metrics that display are the default metrics defined by the administrator in View People Preferences. When a metric is selected, the results are colorized to identify each employee by their rating for the metric. If the selected metric does not have any colors assigned to it, then the metric will appear grayed out and not selectable. If an employee is not rated, then they display with gray diagonal stripes in the color bar.

If there are more than three ratings for the metric, then you can click the ellipses to view the additional ratings and colors.
Custom Field Availability Note: The custom fields that display are based on a user's availability to view the field and its value. If a user at any point does not meet the availability criteria for a custom field, then the field and value will not appear.
Succession Metrics Colors Note: As with existing functionality, the colors for succession metrics are defined in Custom Field Administration when configuring the Succession custom field.
