Why are some symbols not filled?

Question:

Why are some of the symbols and connectors on my chart filled in while others are not?

Answer:

These symbols and connectors are filled to the status date, meaning they are solid before the status date (usually the current date) and hollow after the current date. In Milestones Professional, bars and symbols may have after status colors set..

To change this:

On the Dates tab: Symbols: Fill to Status Date and Connectors: Fill to Status Date in the Date Related Settings section.

This example shows the schedule with Fill to Status Date turned on. Notice the hollow symbols and connectors.

This example shows the schedule with Fill to Status Date turned off. Notice the symbols and connectors are filled in past the current date line.
