RE: task status?

Hi Anish

Thank you for your question. You can set MS Project to display graphical indicators in the Task sheet by using custom fields. These can be found by choosing the Tools menu then selecting Customize > Fields. You will find that each of the customizable fields has a graphical indicator button which lets you set a test, criteria and a symbol to show if the test is passed.

We look at Graphical Indicators in some detail on our Advanced Project course. You can find details below:

I hope this helps - do let us know if you need any further information.

Kind regards,
Andrew
