Last updated 1 month ago

Let's look at the general settings that are specific to Gantt charts.

1. Chart type

Track project status with regular Gantt charts or manage resource allocation with the Gantt resource option. .

2. Progress bar display

You can use a bar chart or a bullet chart to represent the progress of your tasks and subtasks.

3. Row height

Set a custom row height.

4. Actual bar height

Set the height of the progress bars with respect to the row. 60% means the progress bar will occupy 60% of the row height.

5. Header height

Set the height of the Gantt header.

6. Week start day

By default, the week starts on Sunday. However, in certain regions like India, Russia, China, and most European countries, the week starts on Monday. You can customize the start of the week by selecting your preferred day from the Week Start Day dropdown.

In images show the difference in the timeline when we change the week start day.

7. Fiscal year - starting month

Many projects are funded on a fiscal year basis, so tracking tasks and milestones within fiscal periods ensures proper budget and resource allocation. Additionally, stakeholders typically review project progress on a fiscal-quarter basis. You can select the fiscal start month from Canvas settings > General > Fiscal year - starting month dropdown.

Notice how the years and quarters in the timeline are adjusted based on the selected fiscal year start month - April.

8. Date format

Select a date format to display the start and end dates in the tooltip.

9. Grand total row

Every project involves a number of tasks and subtasks. The Grand Total row option enables you to immediately gauge the overall status of the project - it displays the cumulative progress of all the tasks involved.

10. Grand total label

Change the default label of the grand total row ('Overall Result') and set a custom name. We've used 'Overall Project Progress' in this example.

11. Hide parent on collapse

Enable this toggle to hide the parent task progress bar when the hierarchy is collapsed. When the hierarchy is fully collapsed, all the parent bars will be hidden.

12. Hide parent on expand

Enable this toggle to hide the parent task progress bar when the hierarchy is expanded. When the hierarchy is fully expanded, none of the parent bars will be displayed. Notice how the parent progress bars are displayed only when the hierarchy is collapsed.

13. Show search

Enable the search option to locate tasks or sub-tasks faster. You can search for a particular keyword or partial keyword, and all occurrences will be highlighted.

12. Zoom option

Analyze the progress of tasks either at a high level, for example, at a year-level, or zoom in for detailed task tracking. The Zoom option allows you to use buttons to zoom in and out, or use the mouse wheel.

7. Milestone

Show in parent: Enable this toggle to display milestones in parent progress bars.

You can also customize the shape, color, and border color of the milestones.

8. Data colors

Set a color scheme for alternate rows. You can also specify a different color to highlight the row when users hover over it.

10. Border color

Enable this toggle to set a custom border color for the parent and child progress bar.

11. Color by

Set custom fill(completed efforts) and track(percentage remaining for completion) colors for parent and child progress bars.
