GanttChartPro is an extended version of GanttChart. It enables tasks to be viewed from a resource (e.g. person, room) perspective, as well as from a task perspective.

Download and install using the BlackBox Updater from the MyReactor tab in the Reactor Core (Demo) file.

Extensions to the standard function include the following features:

The order in which the rows appear can be specified by a Sort parameter.
Multiple tasks can appear on 1 line.
Task bars and rows can be given labels.
Tasks can be dragged between rows.
Tasks can be deleted.
A filter can be added, which can further constrains any relationships you may have.

GanttChartPro( "startTimestampFieldName" ; "endTimestampFieldName" ; "barLabelFieldName" {; "rowLabelFieldName" ; "rowIDFieldName" ; "colorFieldName" ; "sortFieldName" ; actionOnClick; "filter" } )

Parameters:

1	startFieldName	Name of the field containing the task start date. Can be of type TimeStamp or date and needs to be the full name and enclosed in quotes.

Optional Action parameters allow you to run a script or set a field when a field is selected. See Action Parameters for details.

Filter Parameter

See Filter Parameter for details

Customization

With some knowledge of Javascript, you can make a number of customizations. Customization is achieved though the use of an override file, and is covered here.

Miscellaneous Requirements

GanttChartPro requires the use of the zMODid field, and uses the relationship between the 'home' table and the 'resource' table. You should read the linked pages to understand the requirements for these.

Refresh Issues

Sometimes it can be difficult to get the Web Viewer calculation to refresh. For more information about resolving this issue, read here.

Printing

Note that Gantt Charts are not printable at present, although we are keeping this in mind for the future as an enhancement.
