How to get RAG status column

RAG status very useful indicator. How to add this

RE: How to get RAG status column

Hi Mary,
Thank you for using the forum to ask a question.

To achieve the RAG status you will need to create custom indicators using a custom field.

Here's an article on how to create the indicators so you can start testing that now.

We cover this topic on the Advanced Project course if you'd like different indicators for RAG status.


Kind regards
