This page
describes the options that determine how the sequence is displayed in the GANTT chart.
Depending on your licenses, you may have access to one or more of the
following types of Gantt charts.
Unless otherwise specified, the options selected on this tab apply to
all Gantt charts to which you have access. The options include:
Display Options
|

Time Bar for Parent Nodes Based On:
|
You can select whether the Gantt chart sequence for parent nodes is based on:
- None (i.e., no bars are displayed for
parent nodes)
- Specified
Cycle
Time
- Calculated Cycle Time
 The
default value is None. |
Time Bar for Leaf Nodes Based On:

default value is Specified
Cycle
Time. |

On Opening Gantt order rows according
|
|
When you select PPR Tree, the Gantt chart opens with its rows
sorted in the same order as the activities appear in the PPR tree.
When you select Begin times, all rows of the same sibling
hierarchy inside the Gantt are sorted according their begin times. Child
rows stay beneath their parents.
In case several row objects have the same begin time, they are
grouped together in the Gantt, and within the group, their ordering
follows that of the the PPR tree. For the different types of Gantt
charts, the effect of selecting Begin times is:
-
Process-centric Gantt: The Gantt
chart opens on an activity. This activity and its children are shown. No Resources
are shown on their own rows.
-
Resource Utilization-centric Gantt:
The Gantt chart opens on a resource. This resource and all
assigned activities of that resource are shown on their own rows
-
Manufacturing System-centric Gantt:
The Gantt chart opens on a resource. This resource and all
activities that are children (and grandchildren) of that resource are shown
on their own rows
-
Process-centric Resource Gantt: - The Gantt
chart opens on an activity. This activity and its children (and
grandchildren) are shown; also all assigned resources are shown on their
own rows
|
Limitations
-
When changing the begin time of a row
object in an opened Gantt, there is no reordering.
-
When creating links between activities, their
corresponding rows do not change their position.
-
When you insert an activity it is placed at the end of the sibling list
of rows.
-
A multi-cycle Gantt always uses the
begin times of the cycle 1 objects.
Example of Sorted Gantt Rows
The
default value is PPR Tree.

Text Alignment
You can choose to have the text within your columns in the Gantt
chart centered, or left- or right-aligned.
The
default value is Right.
