Field Colors

Each field in Stratus Enterprise is one of the following colors: blue, white, or pink.

Blue and white fields are designed for manual entries.

Pink colored fields are calculated fields, meaning that Stratus calculates the corresponding data for the field and returns a value to it. Pink fields are also used to rollover specific data from year to year, such as a unique company identification number or the amount reported on a particular line of the return from the previous year.

Default values appear in blue text. If you choose to override any data contained in a pink field, the overridden entry will appear in red and will be used in place of the calculated amount. Use the delete key to remove any overridden value and restore the default or calculated value of the field.
