Modify Time Period Settings for a Gantt Chart

You can change the Gantt chart timescale to zoom in and out of the timeline. For example, if you are viewing the monthly timeline, to zoom in to see daily timeline information, select the Days timescale value from the Calendar drop-down at the top of the Gantt chart.

Follow these steps:

  1. From a page that contains the Gantt chart, open the Options menu and click Gantt.

    The time period settings page appears.

  2. Modify the following fields:
    Start Date

    Indicates the start date for the column spread.

    Values: Specific Date or Rolling Date

    Default: (Rolling Date) Start of Current Week

    Time Scale

    Specifies the time period by which data displays.

    Values: Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day

    Default: Week

    Number of Time Periods

    Defines the number of time periods you want to see displayed.

    Default: 12

    Time Period Offset

    Shifts the beginning of the Gantt bar relative to the Start Date. Enter a positive or negative number of time periods into the field. Enter a Start Date first.

  3. Save the changes and close.
