      Three predefined colors can appear:

      Up to date The information validated for your cable route is synchronized with its cable, or the cable route is not validated.
      Updates available The cable route is not synchronized with its cable, or the current validated information for the cable route is different from the information previously synchronized.
      In revision The cable route is in revision.

      Tip: You can modify the predefined colors from the Preferences .
