Colored frame around the form

The form has either blue, orange, or green frame around. The color represents how much attention is required by you and by the management in the approval process. If green, it is typical a small and simple project which do not require so much attention in the approval process  from you and CAE, and if it is blue it is likely a large project or a project with poor economy, which requires high attention in the approval process. The following tresholds values are applied to determine the color.
