SUMMARY
By default, Microsoft Team Manager does not have a Graph bar to display milestone tasks, nor does entering zero Total Work automatically "mark" a task as a milestone.



MORE INFORMATION
To create a Milestone task, do the following from a view such as the Workload Planner or Start-to-Finish Graph.

Create Graph Bar

 * 1) On the Format menu, click Graph Bars. In the Format Graph Bars dialog box, click New, and in the New Bar dialog box, click Date.
 * 2) In the Edit Bar Style dialog box, in the Bar Style Name box, enter a name, such as Milestone.
 * 3) Under Bar Shapes, select a shape you want. In the Center bar shape, select the first bar (which is nothing).
 * 4) Click the Dates tab.
 * 5) In the End Bar At box, select None. You may also want to click to clear the People Assigned and Summary Task check boxes under "Show Bar In These Rows."
 * 6) Click the Conditions tab.
 * 7) Under Show Bar For, click to select "Tasks meeting all selected criteria," and then click to select Milestones.

Add Milestone Column

 * 1) On the Format menu, click Column.
 * 2) In the Format Column dialog box, click Add/Remove Columns.
 * 3) Under Available Fields, locate and select Milestone, and then click Add.
 * 4) If needed, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to position the Milestone field relative the other fields in your table, and then click OK.
 * 5) In the Milestone field, enter Yes.

NOTE: Whether or not a task has Total Work, you can mark it as a milestone. If marked as a milestone, a task that has Total Work will show a milestone marker that appears with other date or work bars.
