Creating and Customizing Gantt Charts

Use Gantt Charts to plan timelines, adjust dates, and visualize work across a schedule.

What is covered

  • Create a Gantt view

  • Set the date fields used on the timeline

  • Adjust timeline scale and range

  • Save and share a Save View

At a glance

  • Time: ~5–15 minutes

  • Access: Project access with view permissions

  • Prerequisites: items with start/end dates (or due dates)

Overview

Gantt views show work across time. They work best for planning and sequencing.

Key Concepts

  • Date mapping: mapping view timeline to start/end fields

  • Timeline scale: zoom level and date range

  • Save View: stored configuration for repeatable timelines

How It’s Used

Use Gantt views for sequencing and dependency review. Use them for milestone planning and schedule alignment.

Benefits

  • Clear timeline visibility across work items

  • Faster schedule change review through visual bars

Setup Steps

1) Create a new Gantt view

Open the view selector. Choose New view. Select Gantt.

2) Configure date fields

Choose which fields map to:

  • Start date

  • End date (or duration)

3) Adjust the timeline

Zoom in or out. Change the visible date range.

4) Update dates

Drag bar edges to change dates. Confirm the item date fields update.

5) Save and share

Most changes save automatically. Set visibility to Private or Team, if available.

Best Practices

  • Confirm date fields are standardized across items before relying on timelines.

  • Use Gantt views for schedule review, then validate details in List views.

Summary

Gantt views visualize work across a schedule. Save Views store the configuration for repeatable timeline reviews.
