      Set the Traffic Level of a To Do

      Assign a color-coded indicator to construction tasks in ConstructionOnline™

      BACKGROUND 

      ConstructionOnline's industry-leading construction project tracking software gives construction professionals the power to create comprehensive construction task lists with ease. To identify important task information, ConstructionOnline Users can use the Traffic Light field to color-code tasks as green, yellow, or red. Since there is no predefined meaning for each color in the Traffic column, it can be fully customized to suit each company's specific needs. It is also one of the nine options available in Board View for the organization of task columns!
