View the Activities Gantt Chart

The Gantt chart on the Activities page provides a graphical representation of the duration and sequence of activities across a timeline. When you view the Gantt chart, the Activities page is divided into two regions, one displaying the Gantt chart data in a table, and the other displaying the Gantt chart data graphically with a resizable divider between the two regions. The table and chart regions share the same data and selection model, supporting and synchronizing scrolling, and expanding and collapsing of rows between the two regions.

In a project, the Gantt chart shows a line for the data date chosen during scheduling. In a program, the earliest project data date is shown. It is recommended that you schedule all projects in a program using the same data date so they are aligned along the Gantt chart timeline.

Hover your cursor over activity bars to view tooltip information about each activity. Hover your cursor over relationship lines to view tooltip information about predecessor and successor activities.
