OKR types categorize objectives by scope and focus, distinguishing between company-wide, team-specific, and individual OKRs. You can also create custom types for departmental, squad, or any other type of goals.

You can use the [OKR type ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918835163)column on the OKR Overview page to filter and view only the OKRs of a specific type.

## OKR-type color inheritance

If you check the **Enable the inheritance of colors from OKR types by Objective icons** option, the Objective icon will inherit the color of the OKR type it is assigned to. This option does not affect the color of the KR icons.

The colored Objectives are visualized on the *[Overview](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918834317)* and *[Hierarchy](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918669889)* pages.
