Color-coding in Project Calendar View

Updated 

Overview

Color-coding helps with data organization and visualization. You can easily highlight and communicate important information.

For instance, you might use red for high-priority items, yellow for medium-priority items, and green for low-priority items. This allows users to instantly see which items require immediate attention.

You can color-code your projects in Calendar view using the Color By Field option. The field is a single-select picklist type field, it can be a standard field such a status or priority or a custom field created by the user
