View and Compare Schedule Status

The status line markers help you track how task progress has evolved over time. Select the desired status line markers of specific dates to visually compare task performance. Each selected marker adds a stripe of same color of it to the task bars in the Gantt chart. Click the point where a colored bar intersects the date line of the same color to open a detailed task status card for that day. The card can be moved, pinned, and kept open while you continue reviewing other tasks. 

• Status lines can be viewed only in the Gantt view or the Grid & Gantt split view of the schedule.
• Compare the current task status with any previously marked date to identify task progress.
• Compare multiple status lines to analyze trends and performance across key project milestones.
• Select up to three status lines for side-by-side comparison to gain clear insights into progress shifts.
