Tips & Tricks for May 2025

(Click the question title for the answer)

Why are the bars below red?  Other tasks have the bar color set in the toolbox.  I would like them all the same.

I want to be able be able to have multiple milestones summarized on a roll-up summary bar.   Additionally, each symbol will be a different color.

How do I add a downward pointing triangle, arrow or other symbol to the toolbox so that when added, it adds the milestone below or above the bar?  I want to have a bar with several milestones above it but may also want to show milestones below the bar.

I have three symbols which are very close to each other.  How can I space these symbols without changing their dates?

    

I know I can have a symbol date and symbol text displayed with a symbol, separately.  Is there a way to show them together?  I want the symbol’s date shown right under a line of symbol text.  I want them both shown above the symbol.

Hey, can I insert a link into my schedule?  Does it go in a text box or is there some special vehicle for it?
