Pouring paint in the can while preparing a color formula is not always accurate. MIXIT allows 5% tolerance for color toners. If the amount poured for a toner is out of the tolerance (-5% or +5%), it can result in a bad color performance of the color mixture. 

With Color Performance Report, the Bodyshop owner can understand how accurately color mixes are done in your shop. Access the report via Reports ==> Color Performance.

Filters

You can filter the report data, via 

• Painter - Select the painters whose Color Mixes will be available in the report 
• Date range - Select the from and to date using the calendar date picker. Alternately, use the slider to adjust the dates. 
• Preset Range - Select Month to date, Year to date, or Past 12 months to run the report within a preset range. 

Color Score

The performance of color mixes can be assessed using the Color Score in the report. Color Score represents the number of mixes that have all the toners mixed within the 5% tolerance limit. If a color mix contains an overpour (exceeding 5% of the recommended amount) or an underpour (less than 5% of the recommended amount), the mix will not be counted towards the Color Score. If all the mixes are without any overpours and underpours, the Color Score would be 100%. 

In the report, Color Score can be seen across time. Right Click on the chart and click Drill down or Drill up to change the timer. Drill down from month would show the day view. Drill up from month would show the Yearly view. 

Color Score Per Painter
