Specify Box Styles such as Shadow, Background Fill and Borders based on different
conditions. Box styles can be based on the following:
1.
By the Critical and Noncritical status of tasks.
2.
Using the Flag Fields set on each task.
3.
By the Progress (% Complete) of the tasks.
4.
By the Level of the Summary Task, Task or Milestone in the chart.
Shadows, Fill and Borders can be based on the same condition or can be combined.
An example of combining conditions could be Shadows based on whether a task is
Critical or Noncritical and the Fill color based on the Progress of a task.

Set the Shadow, Fill and/or Border attributes for items in the chart based on Flag
settings. Flags in WBS Schedule Pro are simple Yes/No fields that you can set on a
task. There are 20 Flag fields (Flag1 through Flag20). By using the Flag fields, styles
can be defined for different flags and then set on specific tasks to apply that style to
that task.
Note: The first Flag on a task takes precedence so if you have Flag2 and Flag3 set on
a task it will display as Flag2.
For example, if you wanted some boxes in your chart to be Green, some Purple and
others Yellow then you could define the Flag1 Fill to be Green, Flag2 Fill to Purple and
Flag3 to Yellow. Then for each task that you want to be Green you would double-click
that task, select the Flag tab in the Task Information dialog box and click Flag1. For
each task that you want to be Purple you would select those tasks, set Flag2 and so
on.
If you are using Microsoft Project, the Flag fields in WBS Schedule Pro correspond
directly to the Flag fields in Microsoft Project. They can be set in Microsoft Project or in
WBS Schedule Pro.
