Display and navigation

The Gantt chart provides several tools that allow you to adjust the schedule display and easily navigate through the project activities.

These tools make it possible to:

• modify the time scale
• show or hide certain Gantt elements
• filter activities
• adjust the schedule visualisation

A right-click on the time scale provides access to the time display options.

Available actions include:

• Add time line
  • Adds an additional scale level (years, months, weeks, days, hours or minutes).

• Delete time line
  • Removes the selected time scale line.

• Properties
  • Allows modification of the time scale parameters.

• Show / Hide grid
  • Displays or hides the grid corresponding to the selected time scale.

• Adjust time scale
  • Automatically adjusts the Gantt scale so that all visible activities are displayed.

• Show / Hide time indicator
  • Displays a marker indicating the current date or time.

• Change background colour
  • Changes the background colour of the header containing the time scale.

• Layout
  • Adjusts the position of the texts in the time scale.

• Font
  • Changes the font used in the display.

Some options also provide direct access to filtering, grouping, or rescheduling tools.

The toolbar located above the Gantt chart allows quick actions on the schedule display and organisation.

It provides several features.

The Zone filter displays only the activities associated with a specific project zone.

This filter is particularly useful for linear projects or projects containing several work areas.

The Start and Finish fields allow activities to be filtered according to a selected time range.

Two modes are available:

• Between: displays activities intersecting the period
• Strict: displays only activities fully contained

within the selected period

The Advanced filter button allows the definition of more precise criteria to display certain activities.

Activities can be filtered according to various project fields.

The Grouping function organises activities according to a specific criterion.

For example:

• by zone
• by activity type
• by category

Grouping improves schedule readability and analysis.

The Activity display menu allows modification of how activities appear in the Gantt chart.

Activities can be coloured according to:

• their style
• their colour
• the associated zone
• certain activity fields

This improves the readability of the schedule.

The + button allows a new activity to be quickly added to the schedule.

The Reschedule button recalculates the schedule dates according to the links and constraints defined between activities.

Navigation in the Gantt chart can be performed in several ways:

• by moving the view horizontally along the timeline
• by using filtering tools
• by adjusting the time scale
• by collapsing or expanding hierarchy levels

These tools make it possible to navigate efficiently even in schedules containing a large number of activities.
