January 2024 Tips and Tricks

For these and more, view Tips and Tricks for January 2024

Show hidden columns when all are hidden
I hid the only column on my schedule.  Now my schedule has no columns.  How do I add a column on the left?

Two symbols on top of each other
Is there any way to move milestones in front or behind when they are stacked on top of each other with overlapping dates? I don’t want to use vertical symbol position and move to another level.

Bar colors change unexpectedly after refresh
I have a schedule with several joined bars.  P3 is supposed to be filled blue but stays white.  Then, after I refresh, the bar for P2 disappears and P3 fills as expected:

See bar status color in toolbox
My bars are all the same color before status, but they have a different after status color, how do I tell them apart in the toolbox?

Link to Active MS Project Tasks not working
I am trying to bring tasks into my Milestones schedule from Project server.  I’m not getting any errors, but nothing is coming in

Remove a shadow under a bar
Can anyone advise how I may remove shading under a bar and legend entry?

Get list of all Project UIDs in Milestones schedule
I’m using Symbol Links to an MS Project file. Is there a way to get a list in Milestones Pro of all the UIDs I am linked to?

Numbers or letters inside symbols
I need to have numbers inside my triangle symbols.  Right now I am using symbol text and the text is pretty small and hard to re-size when the symbol sizes change.  Is there an easier way to do this?
