Using the Gantt view

After you create a Graphical Scheduling project, use the Gantt view to visually manage and schedule work in your organization. To access this view, you click the Gantt View tab.

About this task

Tools and GUI elements in the Gantt view help you navigate around in the view and investigate scheduling options. The Gantt table and timeline show the work records and tasks that are included in the schedule. The Resource Constraints table and timeline show the resource constraints, such as blackout periods, change windows, task predecessors, and so on, that might affect scheduling of a task. Both of these areas of the Gantt view hep you visualize the schedule and schedule the tasks.

If a task becomes Canceled, Completed, or Closed, it is read-only in the Gantt view. The dates for the task cannot be changed and the task cannot be moved in the schedule. For more information about the Gantt view display and the ways in which you can customize the Gantt view, see "Customizing the Gantt view."

  • Gantt table and timeline
    The Gantt table and timeline span the top half of the Gantt view. On the left, the table displays the work records and their subordinate tasks, if any, that were fetched by the work query specified in the Schedule tab. On the right, graphical elements represent the work orders and associated tasks for the schedule, along with a timeline that shows when tasks are currently scheduled.
  • Resource Constraints table and timeline
    The Resource Constraints tab in the bottom half of the Gantt view contains a table that lists the resource constraints that affect scheduling of a selected task. By default, each of the constraints is enforced, meaning that you cannot schedule a task during a time when that constraint prevents the scheduling. Select a task in the Gantt table to display resource constraints information about that task.
  • Gantt view tools and GUI elements
    The Gantt view provides a number of tools, and GUI elements that help you visualize a schedule, investigate scheduling options, and determine an appropriate schedule for a Change.
