What do the status icons mean?
When collecting data on a device, every record on the device has a record status. Refer to the images to see the status of individual records.

The Record has been successfully downloaded to the device.
The Record is not completed and is saved as a draft.
The Record is completed and is ready to be synced with the server.
The Record is partially synced with the server and needs to be re-synced when there is better connectivity.
How do I change the color of status icons?
To change the color of the status icons of records on your device, please follow the instructions below.
STEP 1. With your form loaded in the Form Builder, click the Edit Form Properties icon.
STEP 2. Scroll down to the Reference ID section.
STEP 3. In the Reference ID 5 field, you'll put the following (with a bit of modification):
FORMBRANDING_RECORDSTATUSCOLOR=#hexvalue;
For hexvalue, you'll want to change it to the color you wish the status icons to be. In this example, we'll be making it a shade of red.
PLEASE NOTE: The letters in your hex value must be capitalized. For example, the hex value of #fe041c must be written as #FE041C.
