In our latest release we have improved the grid Gantt chart with item assignees, element labels and advanced filtering.
In your Gantt data table, you can now filter your data columns and you now have two new columns of data, assignee and element label:
Assigned to shows the team member assigned to each item in the Gantt
Element label shows the labels assigned to each element item in the Gantt
Note that at this time, these new columns are data points only and cannot be edited within the Gantt. These will be made editable in an upcoming release.
Filtering the Gantt
Each column of data in your Gantt can now be filtered. These filters can be combined and will apply to the Gantt data table and corresponding chart items. To filter a column, move your cursor over (or touch) the column heading and select the filter button (next to the column sort button). Once selected, this will open the filter for that data type:
Number Contains – Order
This uses a contains match search e.g. contains 2.
Text Advanced Filter – Name and Work Calendar
This uses an advanced filter in which you can set parameters such as contains, equals, starts with etc. You can also chain combinations of filters within this advanced filter by selecting add more.
Number Advanced Filter – Duration
This uses an advanced filter in which you can set parameters such as contains, equals, greater than etc. You can also chain combinations of filters within this advanced filter by selecting add more.
Dates – Start Date, End Date, Constraint Date and Deadline
This uses an advanced filter in which you can set parameters such as between, this week, last month etc. You can also chain combinations of filters within this advanced filter by selecting add more.
Select – Assignee, Element Label and Constraint Type
This uses a searchable select filter from which you can select the values to filter by.
Number Exact – Predecessors and Successors
This uses an exact match search, simply type in the exact value you wish to filter by:
Managing and Clearing Filters
Columns that have filters applied to them will show the filter icon in the heading. Hover over this icon to see the filters currently applied to that column
To clear any filters you have set, you can either open the filter for that column and remove each individual filter or you can select the clear all filters button:
