what is the red line in the gantt chart

[ribarra]

A red dotted-line, is displayed in the planning console gantt view.   I assume it may be the program planned start date (this project is associated to a program and portfolio)?   But why is it red and dotted?   Red is never a favorite color in a project plan or schedule

Red is never a favorite color in a project plan or schedule 

In MS Project, red tasks denote the Critical Path... which are actually the favoured tasks.

Richard,

What version of ServiceNow are you using? What internet browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc.)?

I see the Critical Path tasks in red, but they are NOT a dotted line, at least not for me in Chrome and Jakarta (image below).

On Helsinksi, Chrome.   But have observed in Safari.   I am aware of the critical path feature and its red-markings in the planning console gantt view; that is not what I am referring to.   Here is screen shot of my red-line.   Horizontal red-dotted line, appears in late Oct timeframe on gantt chart.

OK, I see the same green vertical stripe/line for the current date on my projects, but I looked at a bunch of different projects and couldn't find any projects with a red dotted line like that. And I don't see anything in the documentation describing what that red line is supposed to be representing...if I run into anything I will let you know, but you might want to consider submitting it to ServiceNow as a HI support ticket, since it appears to at minimum be a gap in the currently available PPM documentation.
