When working in a milestone, what do the different colors represent?

[JohnCHill · Accepted solution]

The colors used in a milestone can be very useful when you take a quick glance and imediatley are able to identify what milestone needs attention.

Green

Milestone event awaiting.  The associated milestone event is on time with the target date,   and outside the warning days before period (if any).

Milestone event reached. Reached the associated milestone event on time, before 12 a.m. of the target date, and outside the warning days before period (if any).

Orange (occurs on milestones with warning days before only):

Milestone event awaiting. The milestone is close to being late. The date today is within the warning days before period.

Milestone event reached. The milestone was almost reached late. It reached the associated milestone event on or before 12:00 a.m. of the target date, but within the warning days before period.

In both cases, the +/- Days from Target Date shows as a negative (-).

Red

Milestone event awaiting. The milestone is late. The date today is later than the 12:00 a.m. of the target date.

Milestone event reached. Achieved the milestone late. Reached the associated milestone event after the target date.
