Group keywords with item row colors
Some churches often repeat elements with slight differences during their services. Use item row colors associated with that element's keyword to identify these similar instances at a glance.
For example, add an item row color for the keyword "Prayer" and start all service prayers with that keyword to make them the same color on the Order tab, even though their titles may vary after the original keyword.
