Gantt View

The Gantt view shows the scheduled items as a Gantt chart comprising the horizontal bars for each task item, shown on their timelines. You can also view the dependencies and progress percentages for each item.

To view the schedule in the Gantt view

• Ensure that you are on the project schedule module. If not done already:
  • Ensure that you are on the management console of the project
  • Click the app launcher icon  in the top-right and select 'Schedule'
  • Click 'Planner' on the top

The 'Schedule' screen opens in the 'Grid' view by default. 

• Choose 'Gantt' from the drop-down on the top left

• Alternatively, click the 'Gantt View' on the left menu bar.

An example is shown below:

• Use the filter at the top to choose between the day, weekly, or monthly view for the Gantt chart:

The Gantt view also allows you to set and modify the start and end dates of the items by simple drag-and-drop actions. 

• You can also set the start and end dates for tasks in the Gantt view. Just drag and drop the bar representing an item near the required date range and drag the left and right edges of the bar to particular dates as required.
• You can directly modify the dates only for last-level child tasks, that is, the items that do not have any children. The dates for the parent tasks adjust automatically, depending on the change in the child tasks. 
• The start and end dates are shifted for the dependent tasks based on changes in the predecessor tasks and their dependency relationship.
• You cannot modify dates for published tasks. Use the 'Baseline' feature if you want to change the timelines for published tasks.

To set or change the start and end dates for a task

• Drag and drop the bar representing a task item to the required start date
