The Schedule Gantt Chart provides a gantt chart that is attached to the side of the schedule table. This way we can utilise all the features of the schedule table while providing a visual representation of the data via the gantt chart. The gantt chart can be enabled on the schedule tab on a programme, project, sub-project, or task group using the button shown in Figure 1.

Assets in the table are represented on the gantt along a timeline with the left and right positions corresponding to the start and end dates of the asset. Figure 2 provides an overview of all the different features on the gantt chart with additional explanations below.
