# Target threshold colors attribute

# Target threshold colors attribute {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
If the target_field attribute is configured, a second attribute
called target_threshold_colors enables an administrator to define additional
parameters.  
The parameters are:

* Different thresholds at which the colored bar should change color
* A specific color for each threshold
{#c_TargetThresholdColorsAttribute__ul_oxx_1h3_3p}

The format of this attribute's value is number1:color1;number2:color2
and so on. Use this attribute to apply warning colors to completion percentages that are lower
than target percentages. These values are defined as the percentage of target accomplished. For
example, a value of 0:red;50:yellow;90:green displays a red bar if the
progress to target pecentage is between 0-49. If the percent of target is between 50 and 89, the
color is yellow. Percent of target 90 and above displays in green. Completion percentages that
exceed target percentages also display in green. Order the color attributes from the smallest
percentage to the largest.  
If you do not specify a target_field, then a target of 100 is used, allowing you to use the color thresholds with a single field value.

    target_field=percent_complete_target,target_threshold_colors=0:tomato;50:khaki;90:lightgreen

The following table lists examples of percent of target calculation using the colors defined above.{#c_TargetThresholdColorsAttribute__table_fsb_jh3_3p__entry__4}

| Target percent | Percent field value | Percent of target calculation | Color |
|-|-|-|-|
| 100 | 40 | 40% | tomato |
| 65 | 59 | 90.7% | lightgreen |
| 15 | 10 | 66.7% | khaki |

## Add a target field attribute {#ariaid-title2}

Add an optional attribute (target_field) to a percent complete
field to compare the actual completion percentage of a task or project with a target
percentage in a different decimal field that specifies where the task should be at this
point.

### Before you begin

Role required: personalize_dictionary

### About this task

If a target field is not specified, the target of 100 is assumed.

### Procedure

1. Right-click the % Complete field in a form.
2. Select Configure Dictionary from the pop-up menu.
3. Select Dictionary EntryViewAdvanced to make the Attributes field available.
4. In the Attributes field, enter target_field=\[target_field_name\]  

       target_field=target_percent_complete

5. Update the dictionary record.  
   In the list, a gray bar appears behind the colored bar to indicate the target value. The gray target bar appears only if you defined a target field.
