D365 Business Central: Why is my Job Queue Tasks Cue in Red?

The Job Queue Tasks cue turns red in Business Central when more than four tasks are queued or processing. You can adjust this threshold through the Cue Setup page or directly in the Cue Setup table using a configuration package.

Key points

The red cue indicates more than four tasks by default, controlled by Threshold 2 and High Range Style settings
Changes from the page affect only the current user
The Cue Setup table (9701) can be modified via configuration packages exported to and reimported from Excel
Adjusting threshold values removes the red warning unless you prefer to keep it
