Create Highlights

When inserting field names in the Type of Element column, insert them into a cell on a row that already displays a highlight format you want applied. You can insert the same field name multiple times into different rows in the Type of Element column. Each occurrence of a field name appears differently when you display a project, depending on which highlight condition applies.

To highlight project data, you must first select field names to highlight.

To create a highlight

  1. Select Colors and Shapes from the View group in the Project ribbon.

    The View Highlights dialog box opens.

  2. Select the field names that are part of the highlighting criteria. To do this, insert field names into cells in the Type of Element column.
  3. Define the conditions under which you want to see the highlight applied to this information.
  4. Define how you want this information to look.
