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.

Compress Blanks | If selected, when a value does not apply to a grouping at a level, a blank will be used instead. This can lead to a chain of nodes which just say “blank” before you get to the userful node at the end of the chain. If compress blanks is enabled, this will remove the intermediate blank nodes for a cleaner look. Example, if you’re looking at Stockpiles and Reserves:
| ||
Split Noncontiguous Chronologically Sorted Leaf Tasks | This option will split and duplicate leaf tasks (tasks with no child tasks) if all of the following are true:
This option generally only makes sense if the leaf tasks are dig or blast blocks being operated on by a single Agent. If this option is enabled and an agent finishes half block A, then does block B, and then returns to finish block A, there will be two rows for task A, rather than just one.  | ||

| ||
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.
