Configuring Gantt Columns  

This task describes how to modify the columns on the left side of a Gantt chart.  This procedure applies to types of Gantt charts available in V5.

You can perform the following modifications to a Gantt chart:

  • Hide or show all columns
  • Selectively hide or show default columns
  • Add or remove non-default columns, i.e., columns representing attributes that can set as properties of a resource or activity. These attributes can be those that are defined for the activity or resource or attributes that users define using Knowledgeware. Also, the operation time of a process is the result of a scientific calculation of time (SCT Duration) that relies on a complex formulae; you can see all the parameters used in the formulae and the calculated result.

  3. Right-click on the column heading again, and select Add/Remove Columns.

    The Add/Remove Columns dialog box appears.
    The available attributes may vary depending on any user-defined attributes you have created or the resources and activities you have loaded into the Gantt chart.
  4. Select one or more attributes, and click the right arrow to move them to the Selected Attributes column.
    You can re-order the attributes by using the top, up, down, or bottom arrows.

  5. Click OK.
    The selected columns appear in the Gantt chart in the order specified. To re-display all the columns, right-click again, and select Show All Columns.
