About Gantt Chart
Gantt charts enable you to schedule and manage tasks, but traditional Gantt charts only display basic details such as task IDs, task names, and schedules. Gantt Chart by MAQ Software includes a grid where users can include additional task information such as budget, project status, and location. With Gantt Chart, you can access a complete overview of your project or view individual tasks and their progress. You can also group tasks by category or sort for specific data points. For even more capabilities, try Gantt Chart by MAQ Software (Premium). In addition to the capabilities above, you will also have access to the following features: Progress bar – Accepts % values and measure values between 0 and 1; Task status – Accepts categorical values for mapping status flags for each task; Milestones – Accepts up to 5 date fields for showing milestone shapes as per user settings; Configurable bar height – User setting to change height of task rows.
