User-defined color columns

Guys,

Please help if you can. I am doing my upgarde exam next week and I can’t seem to find any discernable information on the topic “Creating user-defined color columns”.

I know there is a new checkbox on the column properties box, which opens a field to input a profile document name and you need to define something on that profile document, but how exactly do you set it up?

It so annoying, I only need to know it for the exam, I will never use it in real life 'cos I HATE profile documents.

Thanks in advance.

James
