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 the highlight condition that is applied.

To highlight project data, first select the field names to highlight.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Project ribbon.
  2. Click Colors and Shapes in the View group.
  3. Double-click the Task Information, Resource Information, and Project Information folders to display the field names.
  4. Select the field names that are part of the highlighting criteria and drag them into cells in the Type of Element column.
  5. Define the highlight conditions under which you want to see the highlight applied to this information.
  6. Define the highlight font settings to define how you want the information to look.
