Indicate task status with colors

The status of each task is represented by a color. The status color of a task folder is an accumulation of the status colors of the tasks in the folder.

1. Click Project Admin in the project navigation bar.
2. On the Project Admin menu, click Task Settings.
3. On the Task Status Rollup page, set your color-coding criteria. For example:
   • A task folder is represented by red when at least 10 percent of its tasks are red.
   • A task folder is represented by green when at least 10 percent of its tasks are green.
   • A task folder is represented by gray only when at least 80 percent of its tasks are complete.
   When one or more criteria are met simultaneously, the task folder is represented by the most critical of the applicable status values. For example, using the criteria above, if 10 percent of the tasks in a task folder are yellow and 75 percent of the tasks in the same folder are gray, the task folder is represented by yellow.
