Gantt charts

A Gantt chart in Tracker is a calendar tool for planning your workflow. You can create a Gantt chart for an issue list within a queue or a filtered list of issues.

Deadlines for issues are marked on the chart as bars along the time axis. The beginning of each bar corresponds to the start date for working on the issue, and the end of the bar is the end date or deadline.

The bar color indicates the status of the issue:

• Yellow: the deadline hasn't passed yet.
• Red: the deadline has already passed, but the issue is not closed.
• Grey: the issue is closed.

To create a Gantt chart:

1. Choose a system issue filter or create a new one.

2. Configure filter parameters to find the issues you want to create a Gantt chart for.

A Gantt chart will be created for the selected issues. If there are too many issues on the chart, use the quick filters or issue grouping:
