Creating a chart for a filterCreating a chart for a filter

To open the Gantt chart for an issue filter:

1. Filter the issue list using one of these methods:

   • Finding issues by key or name

   • Finding my issues

   • Finding issues in queues

   • Creating an issue filter

   • Query language

2. Go to the Gantt chart tab.

   • The list of issues in the left part of the chart displays the priority, type, and name for each issue.

   • The start and end dates for the issues are shown on the chart as bars plotted along the time axis. The beginning of each bar corresponds to the issue's start date, and its end corresponds to the deadline, that is, the date by which the issue should be completed.

   • The arrows between issues mean the Depends on – Blocks links.

3. 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.

Updating links between issuesUpdating links between issues

Links between issues are shown as arrows from the dependent to the blocking issue if all of the following conditions are met:

1. There is a start date and deadline for both tasks.
2. There is a Depends on – Blocks link configured.

• To add a Depends on – Blocks link, hover over the blocking issue bar so that the dots appear to the right and left of the bar.

  • To make the selected issue dependent, click the dot on the left and drag it to the blocking issue.

  • To make the selected issue blocking, click the dot on the right and drag it to the dependent issue.

  Note

  If the dependent issue deadline is earlier than that of the blocking issue, the arrow is red. You can enable automatic update of start dates and deadlines for dependent issues.

• To delete a link between issues, click the link arrow and then click Delete link.
