Color Grouping Rules

Simplify color selection when using Hover for estimation or material ordering

Updated over a month ago

Hover makes it easy to define product colors while ordering your job materials.

Our color grouping automation saves time during the ordering process by allowing admins in a Transform/Direct Ordering organization to automatically define color matching rules for their organization, so that auto color selection can be used on even more products. If a certain project doesn’t require the product colors to match, you can override the automation and manually select the desired colors, instead.

How it works:


  • Open the Manage workflows page

  • Click Color Grouping Rules

  • On this page, you can view and manage the color grouping rules for your organization (toggle on, off, edit, or delete)

To create a new rule:

  • Click the button: + Create Rule

  • Name the rule

  • Describe / summarize it's function

  • Under the details heading, use the drop down menu to choose a category of products that should always match. (If you need to add more categories, click the +)

    • Note: Categories in the dropdown menu will only appear if applicable to the organization. Also, a category can only appear in one rule at a time, so categories already used in previous rules will be filtered out of the dropdown menu for new rules.

    • When a category is selected, a count of products in that category will appear. Click the products link to bring up a list of all products in the category.

  • Click Save

  • After saving the rule, you will be redirected to the main page where the new rule will be listed in an inactive state.

    • Toggle it 'on' to activate the rule.

  • Once the rule is active, if a certain color is ever defined for a product from that category in either the Estimator or the Project Scope, the matching logic will run in the background and auto select the same color for the other product(s).
