Viewing Gantt from a Project Record

You can view the following in Gantt format from the project record without opening Gantt:

  • Project tasks
  • Project task hierarchy
  • Project task assignments and the resources or resource roles assigned, including external resources
  • Any dependencies between tasks

Child tasks are displayed underneath their parent tasks. The start date and end date of parent tasks reflect the details within the child tasks. For more information on how the tasks are displayed, including the color-coding, see Gantt Chart Controls.

If a work calendarClosed A calendar that defines the working days, hours and public holidays for a resource, region, practice or group. is associated with the project, any non-working time is grayed out. For more information about work calendars and holidays, see About Time Periods, Work Calendars, and Holidays and Using Work Calendars in Gantt.

The default zoom level available is Weeks but you can change it to Days, Months, Quarters, or Years. The zoom level you select is retained between browser sessions.

To center the view on the current date, click Today.
