Configuring Gantt Charts

On the EPS and Activities pages, configure the Gantt chart to adjust activity beginning and finishing dates as well as constraints.

To configure the Gantt chart:

Click Projects.
On the Projects navigation bar, click Activities or EPS.
On the Activities or EPS page, click Gantt View.
On the Gantt chart:
1. To resize bars, select a bar and click and drag the beginning or end of it to a new date. (Only applicable on the Activities page.)
2. To expand a specific area of the Gantt chart, hover over the timescale at the top of the Gantt chart (the pointer will become a double-headed arrow), move the pointer to select the portion of the timescale you want to expand, and click again. You can perform this step several times.
3. To apply a Start On or After Activity Constraint, click the middle of a bar and drag it along the timescale. (Only applicable on the Activities page.)
On the Activities or EPS page, click Save.

Tip:

After resizing or moving a Gantt bar, when you save your changes, the activity remaining duration is recalculated based on the new dates and the activity's calendar. Because the calendar for the activity is applied when you save, a date you specified for an activity might change slightly if it occurs during calendar non-work time. Also, if you move, but do not resize, a Gantt bar, the duration might shorten or lengthen based on the activity calendar's non-work time.
If you select the option Do not show this again in the Activity Constraint dialog box, it will not reappear until the next time you log in.
You can create or configure activity relationships directly in the Gantt chart.
