Setting up Project Panorama Gantt Charts

Creating a Gantt chart is extremely simple. Here’s what you need to do:

Define your labels

Labels are the names of the resources you will be assigning tasks to. These can be the names of individuals, roles, departments or anything else you think of based on the needs of your project. To setup your labels, go to Projects – > Settings – > Addons – > Gantt Chart Task Labels and you’ll see the setting for adding, editing and removing labels.

Setting Gantt Task Colors

You can define a pool of colors for your Labels to use on the Gantt Chart. This does not allow you to directly color specific Labels, but you can restrict your Gantt Chart to only using colors from a specific pool of colors. If you do not utilize Labels with your Tasks or only use a single Label, each Task will be the same color. Otherwise, each Label will pull a color from the list. If you have more Labels in use for your Chart than colors defined, then colors will be repeated. To set up these colors, go to To setup your labels, go to Projects – > Settings – > Addons – > Gantt Chart Chart Task Colors.

 

Activate a Gantt chart on a project

It is possible that not every project will need a Gantt chart. So if you do want one included, simply edit a project and in the Overview section, check the box that says “Show Gantt chart”.

Configure your tasks

If you’ve already been using Project Panorama, it is likely that you’re familiar with adding and managing tasks within projects. When Gantt charts are activated, tasks get a few new options. These are:

  • End date
  • Dependencies
  • Label

These are the new fields that are needed for the Gantt chart to populate properly. Simply proceed as usual with your task management but complete these new fields as well. Setting up tasks for Gantt chart
