Color rows with rules

Make overdue, urgent or blocked work stand out: rules color Table rows and Board cards automatically.

Format in the project header lets the project owner and workspace admins add color rules. Matching tasks get a soft tint and a colored left edge in the Table, and a colored edge on the Board.

  1. 1Click Format in the project header.
  2. 2Click Add rule and pick a condition.
  3. 3Pick a color.
  4. 4Add more rules if you like, then click Save.

Conditions

  • Priority is High, Medium, Low or None
  • Overdue, Due today, Due this week (open tasks only)
  • Completed
  • In stage …
  • Assigned to a person, or unassigned
  • Label is … (labels used in the project)
  • A custom field: a dropdown or multi-select option, a checkbox that's checked, or a number that's greater than, less than or equal to a value

When a task matches several rules, the first one wins. Use the arrows to put the most important rule first. Everyone sees the same colors; up to 20 rules per project.
