The Gantt view in Odoo’s Project app is a powerful tool for planning, but without a clear legend, the meaning behind different task colors can be unclear and confusing.
The color of each task depends on the view being used:
- Project’s Tasks View: Colors represent the stage of the task within the project.
- All Tasks View: Colors differentiate tasks based on their project (assigned randomly).
- My Tasks View: Colors indicate the project of each task, similar to the All Tasks View.
Possible Improvements:
- The project’s color could be used for tasks in the All Tasks View and My Tasks View instead of assigning random colors. This way, users could predefine project colors and easily recognize tasks.
- Introducing a color field for stages would allow users to associate specific colors with task stages, making project overviews clearer and easier to work with.
