Gantt charts for lists of Tracker projects show all projects along with the issues within each of them and the links between them.

Creating a Gantt chart for a list of projects

To go to the Gantt chart:

Go to the projects page or select Projects in the left-hand panel and click Full list of my projects.
Select the Gantt chart tab.
- The project list is displayed to the left of the chart. To open the list of project issues, click next to the project name. The issues are displayed as a hierarchical list.
- The project timeframes are shown on the chart as bars plotted along the time axis. The left edge of each bar indicates the start date of work on the project, while the end of the bar shows its deadline.
To see only specific issues within your projects, set up filtering by issue. You can do this in the right-hand panel above the chart, under Issues, by adding the parameters you need one by one and setting their values.
To set up the time scale, select Week, Month, or Quarter in the bottom-right corner of the chart. The scale settings persist after refreshing the page or opening the chart again.

If the project timeframes are not shown on the chart (its start and end dates are not set), hover over the chart next to the project name, position the project bar along the time axis, and click the left mouse button.
To shift the project start and end dates by the same value, drag the bar along the time axis.
To change the project duration, drag the left edge of the bar (the start date) or the right edge of the bar (end date).

On a Gantt chart for a list of projects, you can appoint or change an employee in charge of a project.

Note

If you do not see the button on the project bar, go to Chart settings and select the assignee item in the Issue bar section.

In a similar way, you can also use the chart to appoint and change assignees for each project's tasks.

Above the timeline on the right, click Chart settings and select a setting in Issue bar:

To show the issue name on the issue bar, select the name item.
To show the assignee icon on the issue bar, select the assignee item.
To have the missed deadline property (the difference between the deadline and the current date) highlighted in red on the chart, select missed deadline.

On a chart, you can configure the shift logic for dependent and parent issues, as well as issue link display.

Above the timeline on the right, click Chart settings and select a setting in Issue bar:

To have issues with the Depends on — Blocks link joined with an arrow on the chart, select Show blocking links.
To automatically move the deadline of the dependent issue when the blocking issue's deadline changes, select the appropriate option.
To extend the deadline of the parent issue depending on its sub-issues' deadlines, select the appropriate setting.

To enable displaying external blockers in the issue list, select Show external blockers.

To find an issue or project in the list, enter text in the Search field.
To set up their display order in the list, click Sort, specify the parameter, and click . In this case, you will not be able to move issues manually.
To filter the project list, use the filter builder. For this, in the Filters panel, under Projects, select the parameters and specify the values to use for generating a project list. Under Issues, you can also set up additional filtering by issues within your projects.
