#### 3. Based on

The data label can display the completion status of each task or the start/end dates. You can also choose to display the resource assigned to the task or the milestone date as the data label. Generally, the percentage of completion is shown.

#### 6. Contrast color

When you enable the contrast color toggle, Analytics+ will set a font color that has maximum visibility against the chosen background.
