Progress Line
Select to show a progress line on the Gantt chart.
Note
- A progress line provides a visual representation of the variance between selected criteria such as the start or finish dates of activities in the current project versus the baseline project, or the progress of an activity based on its remaining duration or percent complete.
Size: Type or select the value between 1 and 10 points to set the thickness of your progress line.
Color: Click to choose a color for your progress line.
Baseline to use for calculating progress line: Select a baseline to use for your progress line.
Based on difference between current and baseline activity's: Choose this option if you want the progress line drawn based on the difference between current and baseline activity's start or finish dates. From the drop down list, select Finish Date to calculate the progress line based on the variance between activity finish dates in the current project versus the baseline project, or select Start Date to calculate the progress line based on the variance between the baseline start and the current start.
Display the baseline bar when using this option.
By connecting progress points based on activity's: Choose this option if you want the progress line drawn by connecting progress points based on each activity's remaining duration or percent complete. From the drop down list, select % Complete to calculate the progress point based on the activity's percent complete (which is the same as viewing the % Complete bar), or select Remaining Duration to calculate the progress point based on each activity's remaining duration.
For Remaining Duration, the progress line is drawn to activities that have started or that should have started (when the project baseline start is earlier than the current data date) relative to the baseline start and finish dates.
You must display the baseline bar when using this option.
