Depending on whether an activity, project, or tracking layout is displayed, the options vary for specifying the timeperiod represented by a Gantt Chart bar. Some timeperiods are available for all three layout types. In activity layouts the bars represent dates for an activity; in project layouts, bars represent EPS node or project elements; in tracking layouts, depending on the current view, bars may represent an EPS node, project, or WBS element.
