Color-coding in Project Kanban View

Updated 

Overview

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

For example, you can use different colors to represent completed, in-progress, or not-started tasks. In Kanban view, only the left seam of the cards is colored.

You can color-code your projects in Kanban view by using the Color by Field option. You can use this option on any single select, picklist type field. It can be a standard field such as Status or Priority or a custom field created by the user.

Color by Field

1. In Project Kanban View, select Color by Field.
