Buttons

Buttons on the Project Gantt Lightning Component
Button Description
Export Exports the data to a file in XML format. You can then open the XML file in Microsoft Project 2013 or later.
Search

Searches for project tasks based on the task name. When you start typing characters from anywhere in the name, PSA searches the tasks loaded into Gantt and narrows down the search results as you type.

Lines indicating dependencies between project tasks are only displayed if both project tasks are returned in the search results.

Parent tasks are always displayed to provide context for child tasks returned in a search.

Today Displays the current day on the timeline and maintains the current zoom level.
Calendar View Changes the view between days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. The view you set is retained if you use the same browser on the same device. Months is selected by default.
Reload

Reloads the data. This is useful if, for example, project tasks or project task assignments were created or updated after you loaded the project record page, or if you have made a change in a different tab.

Expand All Expands all rows in the grid.
Collapse All Collapses all rows in the grid.
Critical Path Shows and hides the critical path of the project in the Gantt chart. Tasks that end on or after the project end date and any dependent tasks are highlighted. Changing the end date or duration of any task in the critical path might affect the end of the project. This button is deselected by default. If it's not available in the toolbar, contact your administrator.
Tip: When using critical path, we recommend that you select Adjust This Project's End Date in Gantt Preferences. For more information, see Gantt Preferences and Using Critical Path in Gantt.
Comparisons

  • Baseline
  • Actual Dates
Over Allocation

Shows and hides over allocation details in the Gantt chart. This button is selected by default. If it's not available in the toolbar, contact your administrator. For more information, see Project Gantt Lightning Component Properties.
