When using Activity Codes to view the program in a different format, different levels of summary bars come up. Can you color code each level of summary bar to a different color? Or does every summary bar HAS to have the same colour/format?

    Dear Carlos Ortega,

    Go on Group & Sort and click on Font & Color (choose color and font). U’ll have to do it for all leves of your Group & Sort. Choosing different colors for levels u have, i think u’ll achive resoults u want.

    I don´t know if it is realy what u need.

    Regards.

    Not exactly what I needed. The problem is changing the colors in the Gantt Chart bars. I need a different Bar color for different summary levels.
    Any ideas on that?

    Ok Carlos,

    Think u can do it.

    On Grant Chart, right click and go on "Bars", "add" new bar, choose timescale "current bar" and create a filter for this bar. U can create how many bars u want with different filters and stipulate different colors / format for them.
    I didn’t test it yet
    Hope it works.

    Regards.

    Thanks for the replies Marcio.

    I figured out a way of doing it, similar to what you were suggesting. However, I had to work around it, because I could not do exactly what I was intending. I think it is certain that different summary bar levels cannot have different colors. At least not that I have found.
    What I did was create a filter and tick the ’Show when collapsed’, whihc works, but not exactly as I imagined.

    Thanks for the help once again.

    Carlos
