tracking rain delays in MS Project

[ollanik]

I am running schedules for construction and need to track rain delay days. I can just make the day a non working day and it will adjust my schedule but is there a way to color code these days or do I have to create a new task for the delay and then link it to my schedule for all tasks that are affected(very painful in a schedule with 1,000 tasks)?

Non-working days are always displayed in a single colour.

Furthermore, they are only displayed when their duration is equal to or greater than the duration of the Timescale Bottom tier Units-and-Count combination.

So if that is set to weeks then you won't see them at all.

In spite of that, you will still get the desired scheduling effect if you adjust the project calendar making those days non-work days.
