Department Parameter doesn't show up in Color Scheme

[lee.imbimbo]

So I can't seem to figure this out, but I have built a Room Schedule, 51 total rooms.

I have used the Default Department Parameter for the Rooms, assigning things like Administrative, Office, and Conference.

Then when I go into setup my Color Scheme to color by Department, literally Department as a Parameter won't show up as a Parameter that I can color by.

I mean the Parameter exists, it is in my Room Schedule, but under Color Scheme it isn't in the list.  The Parameter doesn't appear to be one that I can reassign, and since I'm obviously using it on my Room Schedule it is Assigned to Rooms.  So why isn't it showing up as a parameter that I can control the color scheme by, when everyone else writes these posts like it is just a default they should be able to see.

Any ideas?

You are looking at Space color scheme. Change to Room color scheme then you will see it.

You know I had a feeling that once I asked the question that the answer was going to be really simple like that.  Thank you.

I have a similar problem I added a new parameter to my area plan for unit types, but it does not appear under the color tab. I am in the correct area color scheme. Since I created this new parameter, I'm assuming there is a disconnect with the color scheme. How can I resolve this? Is it a project parameter / global parameter issue?

I ran into a similar issue recently where the department parameter failed to appear correctly after updating the color scheme settings. In some cases, clearing cached configuration files or reapplying the theme settings can help resolve it. I was also checking a few references related to Autauga County Records while troubleshooting another setup, and the structure looked quite similar. Hopefully the developers can provide a patch soon because this bug can easily confuse users working with customized layouts.

Interesting issue  I’ve seen cases where the Department parameter exists in the dataset but still refuses to appear inside the Color Scheme configuration. While troubleshooting something similar, I compared a few structured data setups through Belmont Property Search and it gave me a better idea of how parameter syncing can break after updates. You may want to try clearing cached settings or rebuilding the parameter mapping from scratch since that sometimes forces the UI to recognize it again. Definitely feels like a small bug that could use a proper fix soon.
