Understanding Milestone Statuses

How Milestone Statuses Are Determined

Milestone statuses in Meddo can be determined in two ways: manual override and automatic status.

Manual Override

  • If the manual toggle is ON, the milestone is automatically marked as Completed, regardless of:

    • The due date.

    • The number of tasks completed.

  • Color Code: Green – A completed milestone is always green.

Automatic Status

When the manual toggle is OFF, the milestone status is determined based on progress and due date:

  • Completed

    • When the completion percentage is 100%, the milestone is automatically marked as Completed.

    • Color Code: Green.

  • Not Started

    • If the due date is in the future and no tasks have been added, the milestone is marked as Not Started.

    • Color Code: Grey.

  • Missed

    • If the due date has passed and tasks are either incomplete or missing, the milestone is marked as Missed.

    • Color Code: Red.

  • In Progress

    • If the milestone does not meet the criteria for Completed, Not Started, or Missed, it is marked as In Progress.

    • Color Code: Blue.

Color Code Summary

  • Green: Completed – Milestone is complete (manual or automatic).

  • Grey: Not Started – Due date is in the future, and no tasks are added.

  • Red: Missed – Due date has passed, and tasks are incomplete or missing.

  • Blue: In Progress – Milestone is actively being worked on.

Why Color Codes Matter

The color codes provide a visual summary of your milestones, making it easy to:

  • Track progress at a glance.

  • Identify which milestones need attention.

  • Stay aligned with your goals.
