What type of tasks can conditional formatting highlight in Smartsheet?

Conditional formatting in Smartsheet is a powerful feature that allows users to highlight tasks based on specific criteria defined by the user. This means that you can set up formatting rules that change the appearance of a task, such as its color or font style, depending on certain conditions that you specify.

For example, you might want to highlight all tasks that are due soon, tasks assigned to specific team members, or tasks that meet certain status criteria like "In Progress" or "Blocked." This flexibility enables teams to visualize important information and prioritize their work effectively, making it essential for project management and tracking.

In contrast, the other options are limited in scope. While completed tasks and overdue tasks can be highlighted through conditional formatting, these scenarios are only subsets of the broader functionality offered. Additionally, the option regarding recently added tasks does not utilize specific criteria but rather a general timeframe. Hence, while those options may seem relevant, they do not capture the full capabilities of conditional formatting, which is to customize the highlighting of tasks based on diverse and specific user-defined conditions.
