The Gantt Chart plugin is used to display data as a histogram that allows for executing calendar and network scheduling.
Calendar and network scheduling is the tool that is used to create a project implementation plan and analyze task execution deadlines to optimize overall project implementation time. Network scheduling allows for creating the best project task execution plan in short time and determining the critical tasks which affect negatively the overall project calendar duration.
A project is a system of interrelated tasks with determined deadlines and project objective.
NOTE. The plugin is available only in the web application.
To insert the plugin:
Execute one of the operations:
Select the Gantt Chart item in the drop-down menu of the Plugins button on the Home or Insert ribbon tab.
Select the New Block > Plugins > Gantt Chart item in the dashboard's context menu.
Select data source on the Report side panel tab. The tab displays all data sources in the repository available for the plugin. Select the corresponding element in the tree of objects to select or change the data source.
An express report is used as a data source. When creating an express report take into account the following:
Make sure that the data source contains a dimension with task data and their execution deadlines. To determine execution deadlines, the dimension should contain two additional attributes Start (START_DATE) and End (END_DATE) with the Date or Date and Time data type.
Place the dimension with tasks by rows and enable displaying of the Start and End attributes.
Use only one fact. Fact values determine task execution progress in percents. Available values range: [0; 1]. To specify task execution time in days, use the <number of executed days>*100/<task duration in days>. For example, task duration is five days, task execution time is three days, as a result, the fact value is 0.6 - 60%.

After executing the operations the plugin is inserted to the dashboard as a single object.
