Gantt Overview

Gantt enables you to create and manage project tasks. When you have opened Gantt from a project, any existing tasks, dependencies and project task assignments (PTAs) are loaded.

You can use Gantt to:

• Load project tasks, dependencies and project task assignments (PTAs) from existing projects.
• Create, modify and delete project tasks.
• Create a task hierarchy, and add dependencies and lag durations between tasks.
• Use work calendars and the project time zone when creating and editing tasks.
• Assign resources to project tasks, add and view resource percentage or hour allocations for PTAs, link a resource to an assignment or resource request, and open the native assignment or resource request.
• Add estimated hours for tasks, view actual hours entered on timecards, and estimated time to completion for tasks.
• Link to existing pages to create assignments and resource requests for project tasks.
• View projects over different time periods between hours and years.
• Print your Gantt charts.

Opening Gantt

Notes: Your administrator must have enabled Gantt, and the Gantt button must be available on the Project detail page.
We recommend that you use Gantt on Google Chrome.

To open Gantt:

1. Open an existing project.
2. Click Gantt. Gantt opens, and your project details are displayed in two panes: Task Grid and Gantt Chart.

Tip: The first time that you open Gantt for a project that contains tasks, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) column might not reflect your existing hierarchy. We recommend that you save the project before you make any changes.

Note: In some browsers, you might experience delays in response when scrolling the task grid and Gantt chart for projects with a large number of tasks.
