The "Status Indicator" field is not the "Schedule Status" field.
1. Insert the column Number1 and give it the Title "Schedule Status".
2. RightMouseButton on the Number1 column header.
3. Click on "Customize Fields..."
4. In the dialog box click on the Formula button.
5. You'll have to create a formula appropriate to your needs. For the
sake of this discussion, let's use Start and Finish. The formula below
calculates the number of duration days for a task
Datediff ( "d", Start, Finish)
I chose this because short tasks are good, medium length tasks require
caution and long tasks could easily be critical without realizing it.
6. Click on the Graphical Indicators button
7. In the first row you want "is less than", 5, and the green image.
8. In the second row you want "is less than", 10, and the yellow image.
9. In the third row you want "is greater than or equal to", 10, and the
red image.
Project takes the number from the calculation and then evaluates it
according to the conditions you specified. The moment it gets a match, it
selects the indicator, shows that and stops processing.

I was watching an MS Project demo where they had a field called "Schedule
Status" that showed a Green Light / Red Light for on time / overdue
projects.
How can I insert this into my projects? I added a Status Indicator
column,
but it doesnt show the red/green.
Thanks,
Josh
