Can I colour code to easily highlight tasks for multiple task managers?

RE: Project

Hi Alyson

Thank you for your question. One approach might be to set a flag for a particular task.

To do this insert a column into the Gantt chart view and set it to one of the spare Flag fields (eg Flag 1). Then from the Format menu choose Format Bar Styles and create a new style at the bottom of the list has the formatting you would like to apply just for this resource. In the "Show for" section set it to apply for Flag 1.

Now when you set Flag 1 to Yes for your tasks you will find the associated bar picks up the formatting from the style.

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

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.
