Teal – Due Today
-
Action items due today will appear in teal. These are tasks that should be prioritized and completed before the day ends.

Light Blue – This Week
-
Tasks due within the current week are displayed in light blue. These items should be monitored and planned accordingly to ensure they are completed on time.

Purple – Next Week

Grey – Later
