Visualizations: Gantt

TopLeft can show data from your PSA on Gantt charts. Gantt charts are a project management tool that shows work based on the scheduled start and end dates of the work.

Gantt charts have two parts:

• On the left, a tabular view with columns with various details of the records.
• On the right, a visual taskbar view where a horizontal bar represents the period of time the task is scheduled to be worked.

Gantt charts show predecessor/successor relations between records.

To update general details of a record, click its taskbar to open the editing tool.

Updating Dates

To move a task to a different date, but leave its duration unchanged, drag the taskbar to the left or right.

To change the duration of a task, drag the right side of the taskbar to the left or right.

TopLeft updates the dates of a record in your PSA immediately.
