I see a bar against each project record in the Project all view in the "Percent Complete" field with different colours like green, amber and red.
Can someone help me what are the RAG definition of this percent complete bar and what does it exactly represent?

Hello Dhiren,
Administrators can create percent complete fields, which accept decimal input and appear as progress bars when displayed in lists.
For example, use a percent complete field to set the completion percentage for a task or project in a form and then see that percentage displayed as a progress bar in a list.
Create a percent complete field
You can add a percent complete field to a form.
Before you begin
Procedure
- Navigate to any form.
- Right-click the form header and select Configure > Form Layout.
- Create a new field and set the Type to Percent Complete.
- Click Add.
The new field appears at the bottom of the Selected list.
- Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the field to the desired location in the form.
- Click Save.
The form reloads and displays the new field.
Colors attribute
If the target_field attribute is configured, a second attribute called target_threshold_colors enables an administrator to define additional parameters.
- Different thresholds at which the colored bar should change color
- A specific color for each threshold
The format of this attribute's value is number1:color1;number2:color2 and so on. Use this attribute to apply warning colors to completion percentages that are lower than target percentages. These values are defined as the percentage of target accomplished. For example, a value of 0:red;50:yellow;90:green displays a red bar if the progress to target pecentage is between 0-49. If the percent of target is between 50 and 89, the color is yellow. Percent of target 90 and above displays in green. Completion percentages that exceed target percentages also display in green. Order the color attributes from the smallest percentage to the largest.
target_field=percent_complete_target,target_threshold_colors=0:tomato;50:khaki;90:lightgreen
Target percent | Percent field value | Percent of target calculation | Color |
---|---|---|---|
100 | 40 | 40% | tomato |
65 | 59 | 90.7% | lightgreen |
15 | 10 | 66.7% | khaki |

This kind of gives me an understanding of the field. But the question still remains as where and how is the target completion calculated and stored? If you can elaborate little more, will be of great help in demystifying.
