The color legend is located below the calendar for easy reference.

  • Blue = Scheduled task
  • Green = Completed
  • Red = Missed or returned for review
  • Purple = Multiple tasks on one day

 

If a task exists and is scheduled on a particular date, that date will be highlighted in blue. It will stay blue until the task is either updated to a completed (green) status or marked as missed (red).  If there are multiple items scheduled on a particular day, that day is highlighted in purple.  Dates with multiple tasks are not updated to another color as tasks change status. They remain purple.
