Bar Types field

The type of bar shown in an EPS view Gantt chart.

Current Bar: Spans the early remaining/actual start to the early remaining/actual finish for each activity, and indicates how the schedule is progressing according to the original plan.

Project Baseline Bar: Shows the project baseline start and finish dates of an activity, and indicates how the schedule is progressing according to the original plan.

Forecast bar: Shows the forecast start to the forecast finish dates, and indicates how the schedule is progressing according to the original forecast dates.

Start Date field

The current start date of the project. For a not started project, this is the project's planned start date. For a project that has started or is complete, this is the project's actual start date. For projects with no activities, the start date is equal to the anticipated start date if one is defined; if no anticipated start is defined, then the start date is equal to the project's planned start date.

Finish Date field

The current finish date of the project. For not started and in-progress projects, this is the latest early finish date from all activities in the project. For completed projects, this is the latest actual finish date derived from all activities. For projects with no activities, the Finish Date is equal to the Anticipated Finish date if one is defined. For projects with no activities and no Anticipated Finish date, the Finish Date field is blank.

Tips

If financial periods do not exist for part of the duration of your project, the Gantt chart does not show data for the parts of your project whose dates fall outside the existing financial periods.
If financial periods do not exist for the whole of the duration of your project, the Gantt chart does not show any data. Change the Gantt timescale for your view in the Manage Views dialog box.
You cannot zoom the financial period Gantt timescale using Zoom to Fit, nor by dragging the timescale.
