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. Open the Options menu and click Gantt on a page that contains a Gantt chart.
  2. Modify the following fields:
    Start Date

    Indicates the start date for the column spread.

    Time Scale

    Specifies the time period by which data displays (for example, days or weeks).

    Number of Time Periods

    Defines the number of time periods that display.

    Time Period Offset

    Defines how to shift the beginning of the Gantt bar relative to the start date. Enter a positive or negative number of time periods into the field.

  3. Save your changes.
