Change visual of an operator

Hello, in the assembly line there is a workstation were operators need to put on a helmet, gloves and an orange shirt. In my process flow I put "Change Visual" but I don't know how to use it. Can someone explain? 1711636316571.png

I believe they are for the Person flowitems not Operators, and the numeric index options are 1-10. You can set the shirt color to orange using Color.orange in the color field.

For a regular operator you can change just set the object color to Color.orange.

Oh so it isn't possible to use on an operator or is there another way to let them were a helmet and gloves just for one operation?

I think you can use those options on an operator but has to be the custom operator in the pop-out menu when you left click the operator object in the library:

Good spot Regan - so it looks like you can use the Custom or Hard Hat Operator. You'll not be able to set hard hat unless the Shape is 'Male Emergency' - and then it looks like there is no hat color option:
