Override legend colors

Question 1:     

I used the color override option for some connectors and symbols placed on my schedule. How can I define those in the legend, using the same color override?

 

Question 2:

I want to show the after status (to be done) color in the legend.  Is this possible?

Question 3:

I know how to change a bar outline color in my schedule, but how do I change the color in my legend to match?

 

Answer 1:

The symbol and bar colors for any legend entry can be overridden.

  1. Double-click a current legend entry to edit. Or, choose Insert | Legend Entry.
  2. Below the bar, click the rectangle below Color Override.  Pick a new color.

 

Answer 2:

Yes, it's possible to show the after status color in the legend.  Just  ShowAfter Status(incomplete) Settings

 

Answer 3:

What you need to do is this:

  1. In the toolbox, double-click any bar you aren't using.
  2. Set this bar up to your specifications.
  3. Use this new bar in the legend.
