Gantt charts

The Gantt chart in Tracker is a tool for planning work on issues in the calendar. You can create a Gantt chart for issue lists found in your queue or by using filters.

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 build a Gantt chart:

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

2. Configure filter parameters and select issues you want to create a Gantt chart for.

3. On the top panel, click .

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