Within Teamwork.com, you can view and manage each
of your projects in a Gantt chart, giving
a graphical timeline representation of your
project.
To access the Gantt chart view, go to the Gantt tab of your project. Alternatively, you can press G on your keyboard while viewing any area of the project.
Left pane
A column showing your task lists, tasks,
subtasks and any attached milestones.
A completion percentage here tracks the
progress when you complete tasks while viewing
the Gantt chart - if you use the button at the
top to show completed tasks too, this will
update to show the overall completion based on
tasks already completed.
You can collapse and expand each task list
using the arrow to the left of the task list
name.
Main pane
- Timeline - this is at the
top of the chart, showing months and
days. Weekends are highlighted in
grey.
- Tasks - represented
by coloured bars, the colour is
associated with a person on the
project automatically when they are
invited and is fixed.
- Tasks are grouped together
into task lists, which have
a grey bracket above
each to show the earliest
start date and latest due date
of any task on the
list.
- Next to each task, you'll see the
name of the person assigned and
the duration (this is the
automatically calculated
difference between the start date
and due date, and includes weekend
days).
- Lines with arrows from one task to
another represent
dependencies.
- Milestones - shown as an
orange diamond at the bottom of their
attached task list, on the day that
they are due. Only Milestones which
are attached to a task list will
show on the Gantt chart.
Other options
You can move around the chart by
grabbing and dragging the main area,
zoom in and out by scrolling or using
the buttons at the top, or use the
'Show All' button to automatically
zoom and centre the full chart in one
view.
The print button launches the print
window with the current view of your Gantt
chart.
Use the Show Completed button to
include completed tasks in the chart,
these will be shown in grey and cannot be
edited in this view.
Enable the Auto Save option to make sure your changes
are automatically saved regularly
while you work in the Gantt chart
view, and use the Exit button
to close the Gantt chart and go back
to the List area of the project.
