## About the Calendar heatmap mode

When the Calendar heatmap is on, tasks are color-coded like in the Gantt module. When it's off, all tasks appear gray.

## Activate the heatmap mode

## Task color

Task color can be displayed based on the following:

- Task status
- Manually selected colors

### **Task status**

- <span style="color: #97a0af">**To do**</span> (gray)
- <span style="color: #4c9aff">**In progress**</span> (blue)
- <span style="color: #36b37e">**Done**</span> (green)

### **Manually selected colors**

Below, you can see how manual colors translate to the Calendar module:

You can change the task color directly in the Calendar module.** Right-click** on a task to see a dialog menu. The selected task will be highlighted in blue.

Once you select a color, click outside the dialog menu to close it. The task is no longer highlighted, and a new color is visible.

You can change the manually selected task colors, even when the Heatmap mode is inactive. The dialog menu is still accessible, and changes can be made. The manual task color changes will affect other modules (such as the Gantt module).
