Locations and Colours

Your offices and who works from each, and the palette your tags and category tints are drawn from.

Updated SettingsLast checked

Two business-level lists. Locations are your offices and who works from each. Colours is the palette your tags and category tints are drawn from.

Before you start

  • Viewing Locations needs permission to view locations; adding or editing an office needs permission to manage them.
  • Colours can be viewed by anyone allowed to view the business profile; changing them needs permission to manage it.

Locations

Every person in your business is based at at least one office, and you cannot invite anyone until an office exists. The Primary office's address prints on invoices and engagement letters, and offices filter the people list in Access control.

  1. Step 01

    Open Locations

    Go to Settings, then Locations. Each office shows its address, how many people work from it and when it was added.

    Locations page listing Dublin Head Office marked Primary, Cork Office and Galway Office with addresses and people counts. The Add office button is marked 1.
    Your offices. 1: Add office.

  2. Step 02

    Add an office

    Press Add office. Enter a Name and the address: Line 1, Town/City and the Eircode or postcode are required. Country is your business's registered country and cannot be changed here. Tick Primary office to make it the default; that moves the flag off whichever office holds it now. Press Add office to save.

    Add an office dialog with Name, address lines, Town/City, County, Eircode, Country fixed to Ireland, and a Primary office checkbox.
    Adding an office. Your first office becomes the primary automatically.

  3. Step 03

    Edit an office and who works there

    Press Edit on an office to change its details. Select an office to see Who works from it and use Add somebody to this office. A person may work from more than one office.

An office's bank holiday region follows its people into the working calendar, their deadlines and their leave. In the UK, offices in Scotland and Northern Ireland keep different bank holidays from the rest of the United Kingdom.

Colours

Your business owns this palette. Orin OS seeds it with eight purpose tones and never overwrites it. The order on this page is the order colours are offered in everywhere else.

  1. Step 01

    Open Colours

    Go to Settings, then Colours.

    Colours page listing named colours with their hex values, reorder arrows, and Edit and Deactivate links. The Add colour button is marked 1.
    Your palette. 1: Add colour.

  2. Step 02

    Add or change a colour

    Press Add colour, give it a Name and pick the Colour, then press Add colour. Use Edit to rename or recolour one.

    Add a colour dialog with Name, a colour picker with hex value, and a preview.
    Adding a colour.

  3. Step 03

    Reorder or retire

    The up and down arrows move a colour in the list; the new order is saved as soon as you press one. Deactivate retires a colour, and Activate brings it back.

These are tints for tags and categories, not a theme. Light and dark mode are chosen per person and are not affected by anything here. If two colours share the same hex, the page lists them under The same colour twice, because tags using them cannot be told apart.

Common questions

The invite form says to add an office first.
Everyone must be based at an office. Add one here, then invite your colleague.

Can I move an office to another country?
No. Offices take your business's registered country. Talk to support if that is wrong.

Access control: your team, roles and permission groupsInvite people, give them a role and permission groups, change what a group allows, and deactivate someone who has left.Working calendarYour working week, half-day split and closures, which every due date, deadline and person’s hours respect.
