Using Chroma
After installing and launching the application, log in with the same credentials you use to log in to Gamma, our web application.
At the bottom of the application, you will find a number of tabs that subdivide the functions of the app. In the table below, we will briefly describe the functionality of each and provide a link to its dedicated article where you can learn more.

Activity Tab
After logging in, the Activity tab will be the default screen in Chroma. You can change this in the Settings. This screen is your activity log; it will show the Product Requests, Samples, Outfits, and Locations that you have viewed recently. If you have searched or scanned the items previously, you can review the details and take additional actions by selecting 'view' next to them in the list.
Item Types
What actions are visible after selecting 'view' depends on the type of item you are selecting from. The list can contain outfits, samples, product requests, or collections. Each item types have their own unique 'view' menus and actions.
Item Type | Description |
Sample | Shown as Sample Code. Added to the list when a Sample is scanned or processed as part of a scan flow, scanned individually by label in the scan tab, or searched for by code in the search tab. |

đŁď¸ Tip: 'Collection' Item types are created by Chroma specifcially for the activity tab and do not exist outside of it. It is an organizational entity that allows things processed in a similar manner to be actioned together efficently.
