With a new Gantt report option, end users can create fully customisable Gantt reports without scripting expertise.

Create a Gantt Report just like any other report on the Reporting tab. There are two tabs on the report - a Setup tab and a Result tab. You do all of the configuration of the report on the Setup tab, and then switch to the result Result tab to see the result.

In the bottom part of the Groupings tabc configure how Group sets will appear in the resulting Gantt report.

Field

Description

Group Set #

Group set number as per level number, specified in the Group column above. If several records are added to the same level, they will be displayed as Item #1, Item #2, Item #3, etc.

Use the blue arrows to move Group Sets to the right/left.

Location

You can choose for the first grouping to be allocated to a Page instead of the Gantt. This will create a panel on the left of the Gantt, and you can switch between the items there.

Info

Note, that only the first Group Set’s location can be set to Page.

Collapsed

Determines whether this node in the tree is expanded or not.

Name Separator

Specify a symbol for name separator to be used between name levels.

Tree

Colors and Fonts settings for the Tree items in the Result tab.

Text/Background Color

Optionally, specify text and background colors to be applied to the tree records.

Font

Optionally, specify font, size and style of the tree records.

Bars

Shadings and Labels settings for Gantt bars in the Result tab.

Shading

You can choose from one of the Shadings options (created in the Shadings tab). Alternatively you can choose <Continuous/Discrete Solid> and then choose a color for the bar. You can also choose “(none)”, in which case no bar will appear on the row.

There are certain types of shadings that can only be shown if at the level the shading is applied has been filtered down to a single activity either through the selections at a level above or through the Filters tab.

  • Note that the final Group Set must have a shading other than “(None)”, otherwise you’ll get an error message

Left/Right Labels

Choose a label that will appear on the left and/or right of the Gantt bar. This can be a multi-label or a single label.
