In YAPI, each provider is assigned a color that displays as the background for their patients in the Dashboard and the color of all their in-office messages.  This way, providers can easily find their messages on any workstation and see where their patients are.  At installation, your installer sets each provider's color in YAPI to match the color they're assigned in Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft, but if you need to change the provider's color in YAPI, just follow the instructions below.
