In activity progress, each step except the first one has a return status code (or status code). A step's status will move from pending or overdue to complete when the activity deliverable (or document) has met the set status code. It can also move back to pending or overdue if the document's status code changes or if a document is added to the workpack.
The following color codes represent the step statuses. Click Show color keys to display the color keys on the UpdateProgress dialog box.
For cells that display dates, the colors are as follows. These are the cell colors.
