Set Gantt Chart Options

If you're using EdrawMind's Gantt chart view, you can easily adjust how elements appear, like start and end dates, time, and date format. Control how you see the project's duration, divided into days, weeks, or months. The time unit you select depends on how detailed you need the Gantt chart to be.

For instance, select hours if you are working on a project with many short-term tasks. For longer projects, months or even years work better. You can edit these elements through the Gantt chart option feature. Follow these steps to customize your Gantt chart settings:

• To change the date format, click the Date Format drop-down list, then select a date format in the options.

• To view the timeline in the Gantt chart by days, click the Major Unit drop-down list and select Day.

• To display working days on the Gantt chart, select the checkboxes for the working days from Monday to Sunday based on your work schedule. Clear checkboxes for non-working days to highlight them in the Gantt chart.

• Adjust a task's Start Date and Finish Date details in the Gantt Chart. First, select a task in the mind map, then click the Gantt Chart Option in the upper navigation pane. Next, click the Start Date drop-down list and select a date from the calendar. Do the same for the Finish Date drop-down list.
