Overview

Color coding helps with data organization and visualization. You can highlight important information and streamline data for analysis and communication. For example, you can use different colors to represent completed, in-progress, or not-started Tasks.

You can color-code your Tasks in Calendar view by using the Color by Field and Color by Conditions option. You can use the Color by Field 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 Conditions works on any type of field.

Color by Field

1. In Task Calendar view, click Color and then select Color by Field.

2. In the Color by Field window, you'll have the option to choose the field based on which Tasks will be color coded and where to apply the color. In Task Calendar view, colors can only be applied on the bars themselves.

3. To choose different background or text colors, click the name of the field and select colors from the color selector window.

4. Click Apply to apply the Color By configuration to the view. The colors will be applied to the bars in the calendar view.

5. Clicking Color by and then clicking Clear will remove all colors from the view.

Color by Condition

1. In Task Calendar view, click Color and select Color by Conditions.

2. In the Color by Conditions window, Click Set Color to select text and background colors.

3. Set conditions to apply colors. You can add multiple conditions.

4. Click on Add Condition to add more conditions to your view.

5. You can reorder the added conditions to set the priority for coloring, i.e. if one record matches multiple applied conditions, it will apply the color of the topmost condition in the set order. To reorder the conditions use Drag icon on the right.

6. The colors will be applied according to the set conditions

7. If you want to remove the colors, click Color by Conditions again and click Clear.

You can similarly apply color on Task Bars in Timeline View and on Task Cards in Kanban View
