The Gantt chart in Workfront provides a visual representation of a list of tasks or projects. You can view the Gantt chart directly from the Task list on a project or from a Task report. You can also view the Gantt chart in a list or a report of Projects.

Projects and tasks that are not on the Critical Path display as light blue horizontal lines in the Gantt Chart. 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."

When information is updated from the Task list (for example, when dates and durations are updated in a project), it is automatically reflected in the Gantt chart.

The way that you access the Gantt chart differs depending on the object type you are viewing:

• Accessing the Gantt Chart within a Project
• Accessing the Gantt Chart in a List of Projects
• Accessing the Gantt Chart within a Project Report or Task Report
• Accessing the Gantt Chart in a List of Sub-Tasks

Accessing the Gantt Chart within a Project

You can display the tasks in a project in the Gantt chart. You can update information in the Gantt chart of a project. 
For more information about updating information in the Gantt chart, see "Updating Information in the Gantt Chart."

To access the Gantt chart within a Project:

1. Navigate to the project for which you want to access the Gantt chart. 
2. (Conditional) If you are currently viewing the project in an agile view, change to a standard view so that the task list is displayed.
   To change from an agile view, click the View drop-down menu, then click a standard view. 
3. Click the Tasks tab, then click the Gantt icon.
   
   The Gantt chart for the project's task list is displayed. 
4. (Optional) Drag the divider between the list view and the Gantt view to determine the amount of screen that each view consumes.

Accessing the Gantt Chart in a List of Projects

1. Navigate to the project list where you want to access the Gantt chart.
2. Click the Gantt icon.
   
   The Gantt chart for the list of projects is displayed.
   
3. (Optional) Drag the divider between the list view and the Gantt view to determine the amount of screen that each view consumes.
   

Accessing the Gantt Chart within a Project Report or Task Report

The Gantt chart might be enabled by default when viewing a project report or a task report (depending on the configuration options selected when the report was created, as described in "Editing Report Settings" in "Creating a Report.").

If the Gantt chart is not displayed by default, you can display it:

1. Navigate to the Task report where you want to access the Gantt chart.

To view the Legacy Gantt chart, ensure that you have enabled the Gantt view in the report (as described in "Creating a Report"). Then, click the View drop-down list and click Gantt.

Accessing the Gantt Chart in a List of Sub-tasks

1. Navigate to the task that contains the sub-tasks that you want to view in a Gantt view.
2. Click the Subtasks tab.
3. Click the Gantt icon.
   
4. The Gantt chart for the list of sub-tasks is displayed.
   
5. (Optional) Drag the divider between the list view and the Gantt view to determine the amount of screen that each view consumes.
