Users who want to learn about Gantt charts

Reporting authorities, roles, and record access controls restrict data visibility.

A Gantt chart is a bar chart used to display assignments, activities, tasks, or events against a selected timeline. The horizontal axis represents the timeline and can be broken down into increments such as days, weeks, or months to display the timespan of the task. The vertical axis represents the assignments, activities, tasks, and events.

Gantt Field Tab

• Start Date: Select a field to indicate when the task should begin.
• End Date: Select a field to indicate when the task should be completed.
• Display Field: Select a primary field to be displayed along the vertical axis of the chart that will represent the task.
• Parent: (optional) Display a parent field associated with the Display Field.
• Percent Complete: (optional) Display the Percentage Complete on the horizontal bar.
• Dependency: (optional) Display a Dependency.
• Milestone: (optional) Display Milestones.
• Owner: (optional) Display the task owner.
• Group By: (optional) The Chart will be grouped using the selected fields. Results will be grouped by the top field first then by subsequent selections. Up to three fields may be grouped.

Gantt Options Tab

• Show Tooltips: When enabled, additional information will be displayed when hovering over an item in the chart.
• Show Start/End Title: Displays the Start and End Dates alongside the display field for each row in the chart. If rows are grouped, the Start and End date for the first item in the group will be displayed.
• Linear Dependency: Will display all items with dependencies on the same row as their dependency. Not available when grouping rows.
• Status Colors: Displays each object as green, yellow, or red depending on whether or not certain criteria are met. Yellow is displayed if an object’s completion percentage is not on pace to reach 100% before the end date. If an object has a dependency with an end date after its start date or has not been completed before its end date, red is displayed. Otherwise, green is displayed.
• Color Palette: Pick from a variety of system color palettes.

Example of a Gantt Chart

The Gantt chart lists the General Action Module’s Assigned and displays a bar graph for the action's Start and End dates. The percentage completed which is displayed on the bar is a field “% Complete”. Additional field information is visible when a user hovers over the bar.
