Display indicators only, based on the user-entered values (values are hidden).

Entered values automatically convert to percentages with a percent pie.


Typically, a Values SmartColumn contains user-entered numbers that can be automatically totaled or averaged on summary levels. This SmartColumn can also display "indicators" (symbol, text, colors) based on values from the same column, or display indicators based on values and text found in another column.

Additional options include converting the entered values to percentages with percent pies; adding a % sign to the value; and overriding the summary line values.

In this example, the Cost column is a Values SmartColumn. Values are user-entered at the task level and automatically rolled-up, or summed, on the summary levels.

The symbols display according to the values in each Cost column cell. The symbols and conditions are user-defined.

 
These are the user-defined value ranges that cause the symbols to display in the Cost Values SmartColumn:
