Indicate Activity States

Use the ... dialog to use Indicator Signs (Traffic lights) to indicate the state of an activity based on light symbols of different colors on the screen. The signs change color based on the connected data field. The data fields are numeric values and force the colors to be changed based on the Color Code table assigned. If the value of the variable is not in the list, then the color of the next higher value is applied.

In the main dialog, you can set for one traffic light as many colors as needed to express all needed states of the activity.
