Introduction

Color coding your tasks can make your team more productive. You can use colors to indicate the status of your work items, categorize them to distinguish between teams and departments or to highlight the tasks of high importance, such as the tasks on the Critical path.

Take it to the next level and manually color your tasks to fit your organization's needs. Pick form from a variety of colors and switch back between the two views at any time.Image Removed

Status-Based Colors

Use this option to display the status category color directly on the taskbar. This way, you'll always see the task status on the timeline - even without the Status field column in view or when you hide the task list.

By default, the following colors are assigned to task statuses:

  • Grey - To Do,

  • Blue - In Progress,

  • Green - Done.
