Colour-Coding of Contract Indicators

The lines on the alert screen display as different colours.

The following colour-coding conventions show contract information:

Colour	Type of Indicator
	Bold green text represents a category where there are no current outstanding indicators or within a template where an indicator has been completed.
	Black text represents information that requires completion now. Following the QOF/QAIF business rule set, these are either outside the time constraints or have never been recorded.
	Indicators in bold blue text mean you have recorded the information, however you need to do it again as it falls outside the time frame.
	Light blue text is information that cannot be recorded until specific criteria is met, for example within a set period for the year, or a specific age is reached within the year. These indicators are for information purposes and are not removed if data is recorded when outside the criteria.
	A red flag indicates a category has been exception coded in the current QOF/QAIF year.
	An orange flag category or indicator signifies that there is a previous exception code that has expired.
	Information in bold grey text means that the category does not currently apply to the patient, for example where a patient is not part of a register.

Note - Alerts for indicators with recorded exceptions are disabled, however when viewing the alerts via the QOF/QAIF Templates, the text displays in green.

Note - If you have changed any settings in Settings - Forward Dating future information displays in addition to the indicators that you can currently record. For more information on changing the settings see Configuration and Settings.
