Task Colouring

How do I colour Task names by the resource assigned?

RE: Task Colouring

Hi Peter

thanks for your question. To colour the task bars automatically depending on the resource assigned you will need to employ some VBA programming to your plan.

Unfortunately this is outside the scope of this forum but we are able to offer consultancy support (which is chargeable).

Let me know if this is something you would be interested in and I can arrange for a member of the team to contact you.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
