Read and navigate the Gantt chart

Short answer

Open Schedule and switch to Gantt Chart, or open a project and choose Schedule > Gantt. Full steps below.

Where: Schedule > Gantt Chart tab, and inside a project: Projects > open project > Schedule > Gantt

Plans: Pro, Agency and Enterprise (or an active trial)

Steps

  1. Open Schedule and switch to Gantt Chart, or open a project and choose Schedule > Gantt.
  2. Rows read top-down: the Job, its Phases, then the Tasks. Click the arrow next to a row to expand or collapse it; task groups and sub-tasks added inside a task expand underneath it with their own bars.
  3. Use the arrows and Today at the top to move through dates, the zoom buttons or the Day/Week/Month picker to change the scale, and the full-screen button for more room.
  4. Open Options (left side panel) to pick a project, search, filter, export PDF/Excel, change what is shown under View (weekends, baseline, cash flow), run Risks, or try What-If. Close the panel to give the chart the full width.
