Question
Why do my tasks show up gray on my plan?
My tasks used to be colored by status and now all or some of them are gray.
Example 1:
On the web: |
![]() |
On iOS: |
![]() |
On Android: |
![]() |
Answer
Task pins will be colored based on the category that is selected on the left sidebar. If you have 'All Tasks' selected, then all of the task pins will be illuminated. If you have a specific category selected, only the pertinent task pins under that category will be illuminated.
Note: On iOS, after editing a task and closing it, all the other task pins will appear gray, even if their category is selected. You can illuminate them by tapping anywhere on the screen.
How to make sure all tasks are selected:
On Web, on the left hand bar, click all tasks:
On iOS, to open the left hand menu, click on the three blue lines in the top left corner of the screen (if you are on the Plans, Tasks, Photos, Files, 3D Models, People or Settings pages - if you are in another part of your project you will have to click the back arrow). Select "All Tasks" from the left hand menu to show all tasks with their status colors.
On Android, to open the left hand menu, click on the four gray lines in the top left corner of the page. You can then select "All tasks" to illuminate all of your task pins.
