Calendar Categories & Colours

Is it possible to categorise tasks so that on the calendar view you can see different colours? (Like Outlook)

RE: Calendar Categories & Colours

Hi Kym-Marie

Thank you for your question. MS Project doesn't support categories for tasks in the way Outlook does. As an alternative you could insert a custom field (such as Text1) into your table and use this to store a category-like label which you could then use for filtering.

MS Project also incorporates calculated custom fields which could be used to create flags, icons or trigger Bar Styles that would change the colour of the bars.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.


Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Compare Work and Duration

Duration is the timescale within which a task is done; Work is the specific time element used. For example, 3 days work in a duration of 2 weeks. To compare, add the Work field into the Entry table by right clicking a column heading to Add Field.
