RE: Project 2003

Hi Medhya

Thank you for your question.

The traffic lights are called Graphical Indicators and are created by using one of the built in custom fields. You can do this by going to Tools > Customize > Fields

Whichever custom field you choose to edit you can click on the Graphical indicators button to create a test, values and resulting indicator to use if the test is true.

I hope this helps. We look at graphical indicators in more detail on our MS Project Advanced course. You can find information online at: https://www.stl-training.co.uk/ms-project-courses-london-2003-advanced.php

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

Kind regards,
Andrew
