Why do some date fields have a little circle that is either green, orange or red?

[lucacaputo]

When browsing through task lists such as Changes, Releases, etc I've noticed that some date fields have a little circle that seems to indicate some kind of condition.

Does anyone knows how to check what do they monitor and, if possible, how to show that indicator on other fields?

Thanks,

Luca

Hi Luca,

I believe you are asking about field styles. Right click on any of that field and click "Configure Styles".

Hi Kannan,

unfortunately I'm not talking about field styles. It has something to do with fields connected to some sort of condition.

You can notice this behaviour on the task_sla list. If you showthe Business Elapsed Percentage, you can see it has a green circle on the left side of the actual value. The circle turns red if the Has Breached field turns to false. Same thing with the Stage field which has a dark yellow circle while the SLA time is active, turns light yellow when it is paused, and green (or red) when it is stopped and has, or has not, breached the SLA duration limit.

Let me know if it is clear enough.

Ah,   now I am sure you are talking about field styles. You can specify conditions for a single field and what color they should appear in Field Styles.

Try right clicking the stage field and select "Configure Styles", it should take you to the list of styles configured for that particular field. you should see a field called value which has the condition, if the condition matches then the code in the style column would be applied.

I have to reply again that this is not the correct answer. I've tried to configure the style of fields I see having the colored circle and there is no style connected to them.
