Accessing the Gantt Chart

You can access both the Task List Gantt Chart and Project List Gantt Chart from multiple areas within Workfront. For more information, see "Accessing the Gantt Chart."

Viewing Tasks on the Critical Path

In the Project List Gantt Chart, tasks that are not on the Critical Path display as light blue horizontal lines. Tasks that are on the Critical Path of a project display as red horizontal lines.

For more information about tasks on the Critical Path, see "Understanding the Critical Path."

Viewing Task Information in the Project List Gantt Chart

You can view the task information for a project directly from a list of projects in the following areas:

• Within the Projects tab
  • Projects I Own
  • Projects I'm On
  • All Projects

NOTE You cannot edit tasks from the Project List Gantt Chart. 

To view tasks in a project from the project list:

1. Go to one of the areas mentioned above.
   In Production, go to the Projects area in the Global Navigation Bar, then click the Projects tab and select one of the following subtabs:
   • Projects I Own

   This displays task information on the Gantt chart.

Using Filters, Views, and Groupings

The Gantt chart is a visual representation of the information that is currently displayed in the task list. You can apply filters, views, and groupings to the objects listed in both Gantt charts. 

Filters and groupings that you apply to the list are reflected on both the Project List and Task List Gantt charts and are also included when the Gantt charts are exported:

• Filters
  You can apply a Filter to the list in order to control the information that is displayed in the Gantt chart.
  For information about applying a Filter, see "Creating and Customizing Filters."
• Groupings
  Groupings that you apply to the list are reflected on the Gantt chart.
  For information about applying a Grouping, see "Creating and Customizing Groupings."

Views are not reflected on the Gantt chart. However, when you export the Gantt chart (as described in "Exporting the Gantt Chart to PDF"), the task list is exported in addition to the Gantt chart, with the current View applied to the list.

Configuring Display Options

You can choose what type of information displays in both Gantt charts. For more information, see "Configuring Display Information in the Gantt Chart."
